different between abide vs forbear

Etymology

From Middle English abiden, from Old English ?b?dan (“to abide, wait, remain, delay, remain behind; survive; wait for, await; expect”), from Proto-Germanic *uzb?dan? (“to expect, tolerate”), equivalent to a- +? bide. Cognate with Scots abyde (“to abide, remain”), Middle High German erb?ten (“to await, expect”), Gothic ???????????????????????????????? (usbeidan, “to expect, await, have patience”). The sense of pay for is due to influence from aby.
