Crossword Genius

Bear in booth (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stand

I believe this is a double definition.

'bear' is the first definition.
('stand' can be a synonym of 'bear')

'booth' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for stand that I've seen before include "Remain stationary" , "Be upright; attitude" , "stick" , "Sit here at a sports event" , "Be likely to rise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
