Tolerance was the act of putting up with a situation or the behavior of another.
In 2269, Captain James T. Kirk noted in his captain's log that "The arrogance of Dr. Sevrin and his followers is creating an intolerable situation aboard the Enterprise. If it continues, I'll be forced to use controls which might not agree with Starfleet suggestion that they be handled with extreme tolerance." (TOS: "The Way to Eden")
