Definition
To accept and allow behavior that is considered morally wrong or offensive; to overlook or forgive.
Etymology
From Latin 'condonare,' meaning 'to give up, remit,' from 'con-' (altogether) and 'donare' (to give). Originally used in legal contexts to mean 'to forgive a debt,' it evolved to mean overlooking or pardoning any wrongdoing.
Kelly Says
Think 'con-DONE'—when you condone something, you're saying the bad behavior is 'done' and you won't punish it. It's like giving someone a free pass when you probably shouldn't!
