Today's words

And it's about time. It's been over a week since my last new one!

thole - endure

I share this in honor of my dear friends celebrating their anniversary today as they thole their time of separation.

I did learn something else, word-wise, in the intervening time.  The defer meaning "delay" and that meaning "submit to another's wishes or opinion" are actually different words with different Latin antecedents.
