Environmental and weather conditions affect how many tomatoes your garden will produce this summer. It's common to hear phrases like "market conditions," "environmental conditions," and "working conditions." In each example, the noun conditions means the specific situation or context at a certain time. In the case of weather, conditions might include the temperature, wind speed, and chance of precipitation. The Latin root of conditions is condicio, "agreement," from condicere, "speak with" or "agree upon," a compound of con-, "together," and dicere, "say or speak."
