許容される
解説 Definition
tolerated は tolerate（許容する、我慢する）の過去形・過去分詞で、形容詞では許容されるという意味です。完全に歓迎されるのではなく、問題として扱われずに認められる状態を表すことがあります。
Allowed to exist or occur without being stopped, punished, or treated as a serious problem, although not necessarily welcomed or approved of. It often describes behavior, differences, or minor faults that people or systems are willing to accept.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
tolerated は tolerate「許容する・我慢する」に -d が付く規則変化で、過去形・過去分詞とも同形、語尾は /ɪd/ と発音します。Small delays are tolerated のような受け身では「歓迎はされないが、問題として退けられず許される」という含みがあります。accepted より消極的な容認だと覚えましょう。
Tolerated is the regular past tense and past participle of tolerate. Since tolerate already ends in e, only d is added in spelling, and the ending is pronounced /ɪd/. In passive sentences such as Small delays are tolerated, the word means that something is allowed to continue or is not treated as a serious problem. Associate it with minor delays, quiet discussion, or spelling differences. Unlike welcomed or fully approved, tolerated often suggests reluctant or limited acceptance: people put up with the thing even though they may not positively like it.

tolerated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
tolerated は tolerate の過去分詞形で、ラテン語 tolerare「耐える・辛抱する」に由来します。-ed が「そうされた」を表し、tolerant や tolerance と同根。もとは「耐えて受け入れる」なので、そこから「許容された」の意味になります。
Tolerated is formed from tolerate and the regular participial ending -ed. Tolerate entered English from Latin tolerare, meaning “to bear, endure, or sustain.” The older idea of enduring something unpleasant developed into allowing a practice, opinion, or imperfection to continue without interference. Tolerant and tolerance come from the same Latin base. In modern passive use, tolerated therefore often implies that something is borne or permitted rather than warmly welcomed or actively approved.
