Root Explanation

Condemnor → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "damnare" (meaning to condemn). The word refers to a person who condemns or expresses disapproval, thus acting together in judgment against something.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'together' ('con-') in their decision to 'condemn' ('damnare') something — that's why a condemnor is a person who condemns.
