Tolerate mug (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

countenance

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'tolerate' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'mug' is the second definition.
(both can mean a face)

(Other definitions for countenance that I've seen before include "A person's face; admit as possible" , "Favour" , "features" , "Accept as possible; face" , "appearance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
