brook
Suffer to exist
A brook is a small stream, typically one that flows through woods or countryside.
The word appears often in pastoral or literary contexts and in place names.
As a verb, brook means to tolerate or accept, almost always in negative constructions: She would brook no interference in her affairs.
This sense suggests a refusal to endure something objectionable.
