Thank you for your patience. vs Thank you for your patient

The correct word here would be "patience."

The noun "patient" (plural: "patients") means someone who is undergoing medical treatment. However, the adjective "patient" describes someone who can wait calmly. And, perhaps even more confusingly, the noun "patience" is the quality of being able to wait calmly.

If you want to thank someone for waiting calmly, you can thank him for his patience. You can thank a medical patient for his patience when he has spent a long time in the waiting room.
