词源
condemn (v.)early 14c., condempnen "to blame, censure;" mid-14c., "pronounce judgment against," from Old French condamner, condemner "to condemn" (11c.) and directly from Latin condemnare, condempnare "to sentence, doom, blame, disapprove," from assimilated form of com-, here perhaps an intensive prefix (see com-), + damnare "to harm, damage" (see damn (v.)). Replaced Old English fordeman.
From late 14c. as "hold to be reprehensible or intolerable," also "afford occasion for condemnation, bear witness against." From 1705 as "adjudge or pronounce as forfeited" (as a prize of war, etc.); from 1833, American English, in the sense of "to judicially take (land, etc.) for potential public use." From 1745 as "judge or pronounce (a building, etc.) to be unfit for use or service." Related: Condemned; condemning.

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
谴责(v.)早期 14c.,condempnen “责备,谴责;” 14c. 中期,“发音判断反对,”源自古法语 condamner,谴责者“谴责”(11c.),直接源自拉丁语 demonare,condempnare “判决、毁灭、责备、不赞成”,源自 com- 的同化形式,这里可能是一个强化前缀(见 com-),+ 该死的“伤害,损害”(见该死的 (v.))。取代了古英语 fordeman。从 14 世纪末开始。作为“认为应受谴责或不可容忍的”,也称为“有理由谴责,作证反对”。从 1705 年起作为“判定或宣布没收”(作为战争奖品等);从 1833 年开始,美式英语的意思是“以司法方式将(土地等)用于潜在的公共用途”。从 1745 年起作为“判断或宣布(建筑物等)不适合使用或服务”。相关:谴责;谴责。
