tolerance has 4 distinct synonyms spread across 2 of its 5 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. Its one recorded opposite is intolerance.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
a disposition to allow freedom of choice and behavior
willingness to recognize and respect the beliefs or practices of others
a permissible difference; allowing some freedom to move within limits
Synonyms, antonyms and the broader and narrower relations for tolerance come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Full sources and licences.
