pain

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

'something picked up from boulangerie?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pa' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pain that I've seen before include "Agony" , "Tiresome figure" , "Physical hurt" , "Mental distress" , "Suffering of body or mind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
