Putting up with demeanour (7)
I believe the answer is:
bearing
I believe this is a double definition.
'putting up with' is the first definition.
('bear' can be a synonym of 'put up with')
'demeanour' is the second definition.
(bearing is a kind of demeanour)
(Other definitions for bearing that I've seen before include "Deportment" , "Posture" , "circular form?" , "north?" , "Compass point" .)
