condemnable

adjective kənˈdɛmnəb(ə)lkənˈdɛm(n)əb(ə)l

But killing their fellow God-created human beings in order to attain their personal salvation is a blatantly selfish and the most condemnable inhumane act, morally and theologically.
Example sentencesExamples
- Why is it condemnable to craft songs with harmonies and choruses so finely constructed they immediately bring to mind some of modern rock's best and brightest talents?

Origin

Middle English (in sense 2): from Old French condemner, from Latin condemnare, from con- (expressing intensive force) + damnare 'inflict loss on' (see damn).

damn from Middle English:
The word damn goes back to Latin damnare ‘to inflict loss on’. Originally to damn someone was to condemn them (a Middle English word from the same root), but associations with being condemned to hell have coloured much of the later history of the word. The desire to avoid profanity led to less offensive alternatives, such as darn, used since the 18th century. The older sense of ‘to condemn’ survives in the phrase to damn with faint praise, which was popularized by the 18th-century poet Alexander Pope in his ‘An Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot’.

Rhymes

ahem, Belém, Clem, contemn, crème de la crème, em, gem, hem, Jem, LibDem, phlegm, pro tem, rem, Shem, stem, them
