Definitions and meaning of condescension

condescension

Etymology

From Latin condēscēnsiō.

Pronunciation

  • (General American) IPA(key): /kɑndiˈsɛnʃən/
  • (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /kɒndiˈsɛnʃən/
  • Rhymes: -ɛnʃən
  • Hyphenation: con‧de‧scen‧sion

Noun

condescension (usually uncountable, plural condescensions)

  1. The act of condescending; a manner of behaving in an outwardly polite way that nevertheless implies superiority to another; patronizing courtesy toward inferiors.
  2. (usually uncountable, derogatory) A patronizing attitude or behavior. [from 1930s]
  3. (archaic, non-derogatory) Courtesy, affability of a superior towards an inferior.

Usage notes

  • An already archaic usage that was listed first in dictionaries at the beginning of the 20th century was as a neutral or positive description of friendly socialization with one’s social inferiors. Now that the concept of social inferiority has largely fallen out of currency, so has this non-negative usage. Thus, in Pride and Prejudice, one character can say of another, "I need not say you will be delighted with her. She is all affability and condescension.”

Synonyms

  • (the act of condescending): condescendence
