注意
While the verb 耐える as a piece of vocabulary means being able to withstand / endure, the grammar phrase にたえる means to deserve, be worthy of, to have value in... にたえる is completely different from 耐える!

LR

Customarily used with a set number of words such as 市販、鑑賞、読む、見る、聞く、批判、評価 (worthy of being sold, admired, read, seen, heard, criticism/comment, evaluation)

I have found that this entry, just like the one on に耐えない, is considered as belonging to Level 1 of JPLT.
