Bierce's "despair, disguised as a virtue" (8)

I believe the answer is:

patience

(Other definitions for patience that I've seen before include "Card came for one" , "Game, tolerance of delay" , "restraint" , "Unhurried quality or solo card game" , "'Forbearance, tolerance (8)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
