tolerate
Put up with
To tolerate something is to allow or endure it without interference, even if you don't approve: I tolerate his messy habits but I don't like them.
The word implies reluctant acceptance rather than enthusiasm.
You might tolerate a noise, a person's behavior, or an opposing viewpoint.
In medicine, to tolerate a drug or treatment is to endure it without adverse reaction: She tolerates the medication well.
