Definition
The act or process of pronouncing a formal curse or condemnation on someone or something, officially excluding them from a group or community.
Etymology
From anathematize (to curse) plus the suffix -ation (indicating a process or result). Anathematize comes from Greek anathema meaning 'something devoted to evil' or 'a curse,' derived from anatithenai 'to set up or dedicate.'
Kelly Says
The Catholic Church used anathematization as a spiritual weapon for over 1,500 years—declaring people cursed and cut off from heaven itself was considered more terrifying than physical punishment during the Middle Ages.
