tolerable
UK: ˈtɒlərəbl | US: ˈtɑːlərəbl
adj. capable of being endured or tolerated; moderately good or acceptable
The word "tolerable" originates from the Latin tolerabilis, derived from tolerare (to endure). The root toler- (endure) combines with the suffix -able (capable of), forming a term that literally means "capable of being endured." Over time, it evolved to describe something that is bearable or moderately acceptable, reflecting a balance between endurance and acceptability.
