Translation:
In my own words, the word Condone really means that you forgive either for breaking the law or in general. Condone can also be used to support an idea or thought someone or somebody is having.

Example Sentences:
-In the Supreme Court case " Brown Versus Board of Education" the judges condoned  Brown's idea of eliminating segregation  from schools.

- After September 11, 2001 there were a lot of people that disagreed with the attacks on the twin towers. There were very few condoners known to be American citizens. The biggest supporter were the soldiers working for Bin Laden.

Pronounciation:
[kuhn-dohn]

Usage:
Overall the word condone really should be only used in court room. The verb really is a formal way of saying you support a decision that one side of the court is making. For example, if a man assaults a women and the hard evidence is shown to back up the theory, the jury will condone the women so they can punish the man.
Synonyms:

My word is a lot like support but it is different in that it not used in the courtroom because it is not as formal. 

Antonyms:
My word is the exact opposite of oppose because you are disapproving of something rather than supporting something.

I would rate this word with three stars because you would really not use this word when socializing with friends. Although, I might use this word later on in life when I have to attend to jury duty .   

They both are part of religion, but Moses wanted to abolish slavery and the Pharroh supported slavery to build his pyramid, which is used as a burial chamber to reach the other world.
