Strong and uncomplaining (5)

I believe the answer is:

stoic

(Other definitions for stoic that I've seen before include "Unemotional" , "Impassive type" , "Athenian philosopher" , "Uncomplaining in suffering" , "Person indifferent to pleasure or pain" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
