tolerar
/toleˈɾaɾ/ · B1 · verb
to tolerate
🏋️ Cognate of English tolerate; from Latin tolerare, to bear a weight
Latin tolerare meant to bear or carry a load, from the same root as tollere, to lift. Tolerar keeps that sense of bearing something. Change English -ate to Spanish -ar: tolerate becomes tolerar, and the stress falls on the last syllable: to-le-RAR.
