condemner

/kənˈdɛmə(ɹ)/ noun

A person who condemns or censures

Word Origin From Latin 'damnum' — loss or penalty — with 'con-' intensifying. To condemn is to sentence to a penalty, and a condemner is one who condemns. The root 'damn' also gives us 'damnation', 'damnable', and 'indemnify' (to make free from loss, to compensate). The PIE root *dap- meant to apportion or sacrifice, which led to the idea of loss.
