Answer:

Con means "With" or "Thouroughly", and Dole means "Grief" or "Sorrow"

Explaination:

To condole, it means you have sympathy for another person, or to grieve with them.

The full word "Condole" means "With grief or sorrow".

Con (the prefix) means “with”. Dole (doler) means suffer/pain. So, with shows sympathy by saying “with pain”.
