Meaning
noun compensation for a wrong
noun the act of atoning for sin or wrongdoing (especially appeasing a deity)
originPerhaps from atone + -ment as translation of Medieval Latin adūnāmentum; however, the noun is found earlier than the verb (atone); and in this light, the proper etymology is at + onement.
