語源

From Middle English sufferable, souffrable (“bearable, endurable, tolerable; allowable, permissible; able to または willing to bear hardship; forbearing, long-suffering; calm, self-restrained, slow to anger; capable of suffering”), from Anglo-Norman sufferable, souffrable, and Old French souffrable, suffrable (“sufferable, tolerable”)),[1] from Medieval Latin sufferābilis, from Latin sufferre[2] + -ābilis (suffix meaning ‘able または worthy to be’). Sufferre is the present active infinitive of sufferō, subferō (“to bear または carry under; to bear, endure, suffer, undergo”), from sub- (prefix meaning ‘below, under’) + ferō (“to bear, carry; to endure, suffer, tolerate”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰer- (“to bear, carry”)). The English word is analysable as suffer +‎ -able.
