Giải nghĩa:
Allowed or tolerated only reluctantly or temporarily
Ví dụ:

Cách sử dụng
The expression "on sufferance" means that someone is allowed to be somewhere or do something, but only because others are allowing it, and not because they have the right to do so. For example, if someone is staying in a friend's house but doesn't really have permission to be there, they are there "on sufferance". It's like they are barely tolerated, and any mistake or misbehavior could result in being kicked out or punished. So, "on sufferance" usually implies a temporary, precarious situation where one is allowed to do something or be somewhere, but not with full acceptance or approval.
