Word origin

The adverb 'condemningly' is derived from the verb 'condemn', which comes from the Old French word 'condamner', ultimately from the Latin 'condemnare', meaning 'to blame, censure, sentence'. The word has been used in English since the late 14th century, originally in the sense of 'declare to be guilty, doom to punishment'. Over time, the adverb form 'condemningly' has come to be used to describe expressing strong disapproval or censure.
