I believe the answer is:

stoic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'uncomplaining' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for stoic that I've seen before include "he's not complaining" , "not given to complaining" , "Unflappable type" , "One patient under misfortune" , "Seeming unaffected by pleasure or pain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
