Uni embarrassed by terminal bore (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endured

'bore' is the definition.
(bear can mean to endure)

'uni embarrassed by terminal' is the wordplay.
'uni' becomes 'u' (U is an abbreviation for university).
'embarrassed' becomes 'red' (someone may blush or go red when embarrassed).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'terminal' becomes 'end' (I've seen this in another clue).
'u'+'red'='ured'
'ured' after 'end' is 'ENDURED'.

(Other definitions for endured that I've seen before include "Borne" , "Carried on" , "Red nude (anag.)" , "Bore or tolerated" , "Put up with something" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
