Sufferance - a podcast by Word of the Day

Sufferance is a noun that refers to patient endurance.

Our word of the day’s origin is in the  Latin word sufferre (soo FAIR ay) which means to ‘endure’ or ‘to submit to.’ A person with a great deal of sufferance has an ability to submit to a lot.

I have great sympathy for Charles and all he’s had to endure. His sufferance after the accident is something he should be very proud of.
