Morphology
tolerate = toler + ate
Formed from the combining root 'toler-' plus the productive verb-forming suffix '-ate'; the sense 'endure/put up with' is related to the base notion of bearing, but the non-standalone root may make it less immediately obvious to learners.
Etymology
The word tolerate comes from the Latin verb tolerare, meaning 'to bear'. A helpful way to remember this is to think of the English word 'bear' — to tolerate something unpleasant is to 'put up with' or endure it without protest.
