Somehow relate to bear (8)
I believe the answer is:
tolerate
'bear' is the definition.
(I know that bear can be written as tolerate)
'somehow relate to' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'relate'+'to'='relateto'
'relateto' is an anagram of 'TOLERATE'.
(Other definitions for tolerate that I've seen before include "show forbearance" , "Stand" , "Put up with something or somebody" , "Accept or bear with" , "Endure, put up with" .)
