The word “condone” means to accept, overlook, or forgive behavior that is considered wrong or unacceptable. It implies giving tacit approval or support to such behavior.
Interesting fact: The word “condone” comes from the Latin word “condonare,” which means “to give up” or “to remit.” It was first used in English in the 19th century and has since become a commonly used term in discussions about ethics and morality.
