Word origin

The word 'intolerantly' derives from the base word 'intolerant,' which is rooted in the Latin word 'intolerantem,' the present participle of 'intolerare,' meaning to not bear or endure. The prefix 'in-' indicates negation, while 'tolerare' means 'to bear' or 'to endure.' The transition into English is noted to have occurred in the 19th century, aligning with historical shifts in social and political discourse about acceptance and freedom of belief. As societies began grappling with concepts of pluralism and coexistence, the concept of intolerance became increasingly prominent. Hence, the adverbial form 'intolerantly' emerged to describe actions and attitudes reflecting a lack of willingness to accept others' differences. Over time, the usage has often been referenced in discussions about prejudice and discrimination, underscoring the social implications of intolerance in various contexts.
