condition etymology

Etymology:

• Middle English: condicioun, from Old French: condicion, from Latin: conditio, from the verb condere ("to found, establish")

Meaning:

A condition is a specific situation or set of circumstances that affects the outcome of an event or activity. It can refer to:

• A state or requirement that must be fulfilled before something can happen.
• A characteristic or quality of something.
• A term or stipulation in a contract or agreement.
• A medical or health status.

Origin:

The Latin verb "condere" means "to found" or "establish." It is related to the noun "condo," which means "storehouse" or "repository." In Latin, the word "conditio" was used to refer to the terms or conditions under which something was founded or established. This meaning carried over into English, where "condition" came to refer to any specific situation or circumstance that affects the outcome of an event or activity.
