The word "condemned" originated from the Latin word "condemnare", which is a combination of two Latin words: "con" meaning "completely" or "intensively", and "damnare" meaning "to sentence" or "to condemn". Over time, this Latin term evolved into the Old French word "condamner" and then into Middle English as "condempnen" or "condemnen". Eventually, it transformed into the modern English word "condemned", which continues to carry the meaning of expressing disapproval, denunciation, or strong criticism towards something or someone.
