Reportedly tolerate being unadorned (4)
I believe the answer is:
bare
'unadorned' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'reportedly tolerate' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'tolerate' becomes 'bear' (synonyms).
'bear' is a homophone of 'BARE'.
'being' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for bare that I've seen before include "Without protective covering" , "Unclothed or unadorned" , "Unclad" , "Mere" , "Nude; uncover" .)
