The word for today is…
condone (verb):
: to regard or treat (something bad or blameworthy) as acceptable, forgivable, or harmless
Source : Merriam -Webster
Etymology : If you're among people who don't condone even what they consider minor usage slips, you might want to adhere to the more established meaning of condone. Although English speakers sometimes use condone to mean "encourage" or "approve of" (as in "officials accused of condoning corruption"), some people feel strongly that it should only mean something closer to "pardon" or "overlook." Condone comes from the Latin verb condonare, which means "to absolve." Condonare in turn combines the Latin prefix com-, indicating thoroughness, and donare, meaning "to give." Not surprisingly, donare is also the source of our words donate and pardon.
