wrepete1951 | Somebody told me that CONDOM is short for CONDOMinium. Is there any truth to that? |
I am very naive and will believe almost anything anybody tells me, so please help me out here. If I can avoid it, I don't wanna spend thousands of dollars for a unit that might be lacking a bathroom and a kitchen. Thanks. |

No truth to that, sorry man.
The short term for condominium is in fact, condo. As in, "i'm looking for a condo in the hills."
Now these are homes with an upstairs and downstairs-two story building- and can include two to thre, maybe four rooms and most likely two bathrooms as well. Thats probably what you're looking for, however the layout and number of the rooms may vary. |

That person is just pulling your leg. CONDO is short for CONDOMINIUM. Condom is something entirely different. Condominiums are just like any other house. They usually come with bathroom and kitchen and they can be very attractive and comfortable. I worked and lived in one for eight years. It was a three floor condo and it had two bathrooms and a kitchen, so if you're planning to buy a condominium, go right ahead and please stop believing everything people tell you. You could find yourself in big trouble doing that. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condom
The most likely origin of the word condom is from the Latin word condon, meaning receptacle.[46]
Other explanations abound, however. Folk etymology claims that the word "condom" is derived from a purported "Dr. Condom" or "Quondam", who made the devices for King Charles II of England. There is no verifiable evidence that any such "Dr. Condom" existed. Other stories tell the word "condom" has its root in the 16th century: in particular, when Catherine de Medici married Henry II of France, she brought to France her minister Gondi and the architect Bernardo Buontalenti. Gondi and Buontalenti started producing special waxed protections to be used as condoms. The French soon called them "gondon"; "gondone" is today still used as a synonym of "condom" in Genova, Italy; "goldoni", another variation, is still used in Milan, Italy. It may be that the word "condom" is a variation of "gondon".
It is also hypothesized that a British army officer named Cundum popularized the device between 1680 and 1717. [47]
Zacharias P. Thundy states in "The Etymology of Condom" by (American Speech 60, No. 2, 1985) that condom is derived from condamina or house.
William E. Kruck has written an article "Looking for Dr Condom", Publication of the American Dialect Society, no. 66, 1981, which is a meticulous repudiation of all the "Dr/Colonel/Earl of Condom" myths about the origin of the condom. It disproves many other theories, e.g., that it was named after a town in France, named after the Latin condus named for the Persian kendü). |

No, They are pulling your chain or something else. But a Condominium is really a form of ownership not necessarily a type of structure. They can be townhouses, apartments, High rises. But you own what is inside the walls and the association owns everything else. If there are 100 units you would have 1/100 ownership of all the common areas. They should all hve bathrooms and kitchens. Unless you are confusing it with a Commune which is a whole other story. |

no_doubt!

NOPE ... Condominium or a CONDO is like an apartment that you own. Condom is a birth control device.. It is VERY VERY unlikely you will find a condo that does not have basics like a kitchen and bathroom ... I doubt that they are legal.. |
