My Dictionary

has a word of the day feature!

Today: thole (verb) - endure

"There was now temptation to resist, as well as pain to thole." Kidnapped

Did you know? "Thole" is one of the English lnaguage's oldest words - it existed in Middle English in its current form and in Old English with the form "tholian" - but in these modern times it tholes only in the corner of England's northern dialects. It has the same origin as "tolerate": both come from the Greek word for "to bear".
