excuse, overlook, or make allowances for; be lenient with; "excuse someone's behavior"; "She condoned her husband's occasional infidelities"
If someone condones behaviour that is morally wrong, they accept it and allow it to happen. I have never encouraged nor condoned violence condemn. to accept or forgive behaviour that most people think is morally wrong (condonare , from com- ( COM-) + donare ( DONATION))
