Etymology

The word 'condemned' originates from the Latin 'condemnare', which means 'to blame, to convict'. This Latin root is derived from 'con-' meaning 'together' and 'damnare' meaning 'to harm, to inflict loss'. 'Condemn' entered the English language in the late Middle Ages, gaining prominence in legal and moral contexts. The word has evolved over time to encompass not just legal sentencing, but also broader social opinions regarding behavior and conditions. In contemporary usage, it is often associated with strong disapproval and is commonly used in legal, social, and religious contexts.
