An archaic term meaning to endure, tolerate, or carry.
From Old English abæran, from a- (away) + beran (to bear, carry). An old verb that's largely obsolete in modern English.
Abear is a beautiful ghost word—it survives mainly in older literature, showing how English borrowed Germanic roots that have mostly been replaced by Romance language equivalents.
