Crossword Genius

Stoic and composed felon, Gus Fring (4-9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

long-suffering

'stoic' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'composed felon gus fring' is the wordplay.
'composed' indicates an anagram.
'felon'+'gus'+'fring'='felongusfring'
'felongusfring' is an anagram of 'LONG-SUFFERING'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for long-suffering that I've seen before include "Patient in adversity" , "Extremely patient" , "Stoic, patient" , "Enduring without complaint" , "Stoical" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
