Study enduring artist (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

constable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'artist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'study enduring' is the wordplay.
'study' becomes 'con' (con can informally mean to study).
'enduring' becomes 'stable' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'con'+'stable'='CONSTABLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for constable that I've seen before include "Copper - artist" , "CARRY ON FILM" , "In England, a great painter or lowly policeman" , "PC" , "British painter and police officer" .)
