Stall bear (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stand

I believe this is a double definition.

'stall' is the first definition.
(I know that stall can be written as stand)

'bear' is the second definition.
(bear can mean to stand or endure)

(Other definitions for stand that I've seen before include "Be upright; attitude" , "stick" , "group of trees" , "Hold good < area for spectators < put up with" , "Stall" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
