Tolerated a shorter version of the Ancient Mariner ? (5)
I believe the answer is:
abode
'tolerated' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "Pad" , "stay" , "Dwelling, residence" , "Where one lives" , "Place of residence" .)
