Put up with closing time in public house (4)
I believe the answer is:
bear
'put up with' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'closing time in public house' is the wordplay.
'closing time' becomes 'e' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'public house' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this in another clue).
'e' put within 'bar' is 'BEAR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bear that I've seen before include "eg Pooh" , "Heavy carnivorous quadruped" , "Tolerate; animal" , "rude fellow" , "Put up with - speculator" .)
