Origin & History

From Latin 'condolēre' (“to suffer together”), via Late Latin 'condolentia' and French 'condoléance'; the plural 'condolences' became common for messages of sympathy.

लैटिन 'condolēre' (अर्थ: 'साथ में दुख सहना') से, लेट लैटिन 'condolentia' और फ़्रेंच 'condoléance' के माध्यम से; सहानुभूति के संदेशों के लिए बहुवचन रूप 'condolences' प्रचलित हुआ।
