Suffering; lasting (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enduring

I believe this is a double definition.

'suffering' is the first definition.
('endure' can be a synonym of 'suffer')

'lasting' is the second definition.
(enduring is a kind of lasting)

(Other definitions for enduring that I've seen before include "Lasting a very long time, despite hardship (8)" , "stable ..." , "showing toleration" , "Lasting' tolerating" , "Eternal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
