tolereret

Tolereret is a Danish past participle and adjective derived from the verb tolerere, meaning "to tolerate." As a lexical form it denotes that something has been allowed, endured, or accepted, often with qualification. The word corresponds to English "tolerated" and functions both in compound verb forms and as a descriptive term.

Etymology traces tolerere to Latin tolerare ("to bear, endure"), via French tolérer and other Romance-language routes. The morphological ending -et marks the past participle in standard Danish conjugation. Related forms appear in other Scandinavian languages (for example Norwegian Bokmål tolerert), reflecting common Indo-European roots for the concept of tolerance.

In grammar, tolereret appears in passive constructions (Det er tolereret — "It is tolerated") and as an adjectival modifier (en tolereret praksis — "a tolerated practice"). Its use often implies a degree of reluctance or conditional acceptance rather than full approval.

Contexts of use include social and legal discourse (policies that tolerate certain behaviours), public health and medicine (symptoms or side effects that are tolerated), and everyday speech about personal boundaries. Synonyms include accepteret (accepted) or tilladt (permitted), though tolereret can carry nuances of endurance or begrudging allowance.
