Relate to wounded bear ... (8)
I believe the answer is:
tolerate
'bear' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'relate to wounded' is the wordplay.
'wounded' indicates an anagram.
'relate'+'to'='relateto'
'relateto' anagrammed gives 'TOLERATE'.
(Other definitions for tolerate that I've seen before include "Endure, put up with" , "Stand" , "Be indulgent" , "Put up with, bear" , "Put up with something or somebody" .)
