Bore passed by a majority (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carried

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'passed by a majority' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for carried that I've seen before include "Conveyed, transported" , "Held" , "Transmitted; borne" , "passed by majority" , "(Of a motion) passed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
