Endure endlessly monstrous and uncomfortable embrace (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
bear hug
'uncomfortable embrace' is the definition.
'bear hug' can be an answer for 'embrace' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'uncomfortable' bit.
'endure endlessly monstrous' is the wordplay.
'endure' becomes 'bear' (synonyms).
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'monstrous' becomes 'huge' (I've seen this in another clue).
'huge' with its final letter taken away is 'hug'.
'bear'+'hug'='BEAR HUG'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bear hug that I've seen before include "tight squeeze" , "Closely grip" , "embrace that's painful?" , "Stifling embrace" , "Rough tight embrace" .)
