Bearing can set strangely (6)
I believe the answer is:
stance
'bearing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'can set strangely' is the wordplay.
'strangely' indicates anagramming the letters.
'can'+'set'='canset'
'canset' with letters rearranged gives 'STANCE'.
(Other definitions for stance that I've seen before include "Player's posture for making, say, golf stroke" , "Standpoint" , "Golfer's position for making stroke" , "Posture - attitude" , "Attitude or way of standing" .)
