toleravit

Toleravit is a Latin verb form meaning “he/she/it tolerated” or “has tolerated.” It is the third-person singular perfect active indicative of tolerare, a verb that means to bear, endure, tolerate, or permit. The perfect tense indicates a completed past action, so toleravit is used when describing something endured or tolerated at a specific past time.

Etymology and form: tolerare comes from the Latin root meaning to bear or endure, with toleravit being the standard perfect form for a single subject in the active voice. The related present tense is tolerat, the imperfect tolerabat, and the future tolerabit. The verb also has passive and deponent forms in other moods and voices, such as tolerari (to be tolerated) and toleratus est (he has been tolerated or he tolerated it, depending on context).

Usage: In classical Latin, toleravit appears in both narrative and didactic contexts to express endurance of hardship, forbearance, or acceptance of a situation. It can describe literal endurance—enduring torments or dangers—or more figurative tolerance, such as allowing a person or action to proceed.

Examples:

- Miles multa tormenta toleravit. (The soldier endured many torments.)

- Senator legatos toleravit. (The senator tolerated the envoys.)

Notes: As a perfect form, toleravit is often translated with English past or present perfect sense, depending on the context and the narrative.
