what I wrote about the Latin "condicio" and "conditio" was wrong. As far as I have got it from looking it up, both means both (state and prerequisite), and some other things too such as seasoning
I checked a large Latin-English dictionary (over 2000 pages). It includes two verbs 'condico' (agree) and 'condio' (preserve in vinegar). From the latter, we get condiments such as pickles. From 'condico', there's a noun 'condictio', which was used for a religious proclamation. For the noun 'conditio', there is one meaning that is derived from 'condio' and another meaning for which it says 'vide condico'. In medieval Latin, the T in '-tio' was typically pronounced /ts/, and the C in '-ctio' could easily get lost in rapid speech. John
