Etymology:
Meaning:
To pronounce a solemn curse or excommunication upon; to condemn or denounce officially.
Origin:
The word "anathematize" comes from the Greek word "anathema," which originally meant "something devoted to destruction." It was used in ancient Greece to refer to objects or people that were considered cursed or evil and were to be destroyed or banished.
Later, the word was adopted by the Christian Church to refer to a formal curse or excommunication pronounced by a religious authority. In Christian usage, anathematization involves the exclusion of a person or group from the religious community and the denial of certain sacraments.
The word "anathematize" has also been used in a more general sense to mean "to condemn or denounce officially." It is often used to refer to the formal condemnation of a doctrine, opinion, or practice by a religious or political authority.
