tolerability
Degree of acceptableness
Tolerability is how well something can be endured or accepted without excessive difficulty.
The term appears most often in medical and pharmaceutical contexts, describing how patients handle a drug's side effects: The study measured the tolerability of the new treatment.
A medication with good tolerability causes manageable discomfort; poor tolerability may lead patients to discontinue use.
