Etymology

Derived from Old French tolérant, the word ultimately comes from Latin tolerans, the present participle of tolerare “to endure, bear”. Tolerare itself is built on tollere “to lift, raise”, conveying the idea of lifting a burden. The noun tolérance first appears in the 12th century, and the noun form tolérant is a later, more recent derivation from the adjective.
