Expressing or feeling sympathy and sorrow; showing compassionate grief for another's misfortune.
From Latin 'condolens,' present participle of 'condolere,' with the '-ent' suffix forming adjectives (related to '-ant'). This adjectival form directly carries the sense of 'one who grieves together.'
Adjectives ending in '-ent' from Latin often feel more formal and scholarly—compare 'condolent' to 'sympathetic' and you can hear how Latin-derived words still carry an air of gravity and ceremony.
