Submissive bearing (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yielding

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'bearing' is the second definition.
('yield' can be a synonym of 'bear')

(Other definitions for yielding that I've seen before include "Soft, rather than rigid" , "Ceding, conceding" , "Amenable" , "that's not iron?" , "Backing down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
