Dicky this time is buttonholed by club bore (9)
I believe the answer is:
withstood
'bore' is the definition.
(bear can mean to endure or withstand)
'dicky this time is buttonholed by club' is the wordplay.
'dicky' indicates an anagram (dicky can mean ill or non-functioning).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'is buttonholed by' is an insertion indicator (buttonhole can mean to detain or hold).
'club' becomes 'wood' (wood is a kind of club).
'this'+'t'='thist'
'thist' with letters rearranged gives 'ithst'.
'ithst' going within 'wood' is 'WITHSTOOD'.
(Other definitions for withstood that I've seen before include "survived" , "Bore" .)
