Morphology
tolerate = toler + ate
The medical/physiological sense 'be able to endure/withstand' is a predictable specialization of the core meaning 'bear/endure' from 'toler-' plus '-ate', though the combining root itself is not a standalone English word, reducing immediate transparency for some learners.
Etymology
The word tolerate comes from the Latin tolerare, 'to bear', and that image helps explain the medical sense: to tolerate a drug or condition is for your body to 'bear' it without bad effects.
