Definition
Deserved or merited, especially in relation to punishment; appropriate to the offense or action.
Etymology
From Old French condigne, from Latin condignus (quite worthy), combining con- (with) and dignus (worthy). Originally meant 'worthy together' and evolved to mean 'appropriately deserved.'
Kelly Says
Shakespeare used 'condign punishment' to describe penalties that fit the crime—it's the legal world's way of saying 'you had it coming' with dignity and formality.
