'abear' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'āberan,' where 'ā-' meant 'away' and 'beran' meant 'to carry.'

'āberan' transformed into the Middle English word 'aberen,' and eventually became the modern English word 'abear.'

Initially, it meant 'to carry away,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to endure or tolerate.'
