TOLETENCE can be used a number of different ways.
"He has a (physical) tolerance for pain." He can take the pain. It takes a lot for him to feel or react to pain. A good quality to have when sitting in the dentist's chair getting your teeth drilled.
" I can tolerate your mother, but I really don't like her." I can put up with her, if I bite my tongue and walk out of the room.
ENDURANCE is the physical ability to withstand something for a long time.
"He is a great endurance runner." He can run long distances.
"I think he can swim the English Channel, he has a lot of endurance." Physicslly fit, well conditioned.
