tolerant 可以想成「扛得住，所以不必出手」。有一個不舒服的東西壓過來：可能是吵鬧的音樂、看不順眼的做法，也可能是乾掉的土或海邊的鹹風。被形容為 tolerant 的那一方既沒有垮掉，也沒有把它推開，就這樣撐著繼續過。整個字的重量都在「撐住」這個動作上，而不在「喜歡」。From the word’s history
The source traces tolerant to Latin tolerō, "to endure", by way of French tolérant. Enduring — carrying a weight without putting it down — is exactly what links the person who does not complain and the plant that does not die.
來源資料說這個字來自法文 tolérant，再往上是拉丁文 tolerō「忍受、承受」。「承受」正好把兩邊接起來：不出聲抱怨的人，和不會枯死的植物，做的是同一件事——把壓力扛著。
