To subject something to conditions or requirements; to make conditional upon certain circumstances.
From Latin 'condicionatus,' past participle of 'condicionare,' derived from 'condicio' meaning 'agreement' or 'terms.' The suffix '-ate' forms verbs in English, with the meaning evolving from legal/contractual arrangements to general conditioning.
This word is practically extinct in modern English, having been largely replaced by 'condition' as a verb, but it shows how Latin legal language shaped English contract terminology—many old legal documents use '-ionate' verbs that we've completely abandoned.
