CONDOLE Meaning and
Definition
-
Condole is a verb that refers to the act of feeling sympathy or expressing condolences towards someone who is grieving or going through a difficult time. It involves offering comfort, solace, and emotional support to the person experiencing sorrow or distress.
When one condoles with someone, they acknowledge and empathize with the pain, loss, or suffering that the individual is going through. This often takes the form of heartfelt words, such as expressing sorrow for their loss, sharing kind and encouraging sentiments, or offering a listening ear. Condoling can also involve physical gestures, such as hugs or holding hands, which provide a sense of companionship and warmth during the grieving process.
The act of condoling is typically carried out when someone has experienced the death of a loved one, but it can also be extended to any situation where one is suffering, such as during times of illness, adversity, or personal hardship. By condoling, individuals demonstrate their compassion and support, helping to ease the burden of grief or pain that the person is carrying.
Ultimately, to condole is to show empathy, understanding, and care towards someone who is facing difficult circumstances, aiming to provide them with comfort and reassurance in times of need.

Etymology of CONDOLE
The word "condole" originates from the Latin word "condolere", which is a combination of "con-" meaning "together" and "dolere" meaning "to grieve". This Latin term evolved into the Old French word "condoleir", which means "to speak sympathetically" or "to express condolences". Eventually, it entered the English language in the late 16th century with the same meaning, referring to the act of expressing sympathy or offering comfort to someone who is grieving or experiencing loss.
