Etymology
Forbearance comes from the old English verb forbear, made of for- and bear, where bear means 'to endure' and for- adds the idea of 'holding back'. So forbearance is literally patient 'holding back' or 'enduring' something without acting, which is why it means being patient and choosing not to enforce a right.
