An archaic or rare form meaning to condemn; to pronounce judgment against or express strong disapproval of.
From Latin condemnatus, past participle of condemnare. This is an obsolete verb form in English, replaced by the simpler 'condemn,' though the Latin-derived form appears in legal and historical texts.
Legal documents and older literature sometimes use 'condemnate' to sound more formal and authoritative—and it's still the root of words like 'condemnation,' showing how a dead verb form lives on in related words.
