==Origin==
Classical Latin reprobātus (see reprobate adj.). Compare post-classical Latin reprobus [[person]] who has been [[predestined]] by [[God]] to [[eternal]] [[damnation]] (late 2nd or early 3rd cent. in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tertullian Tertullian] as reprobi, plural), use as noun of [[masculine]] of classical [[Latin]] reprobus
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_century 1545]
The [[English]] [[word]], reprobate, is from the [[Latin]] root probare (English: prove, test), and thus derived from the Latin, reprobatus ([[reproved]], [[condemned]]), the opposite of approbatus (commended, [[approved]]).
==Definitions==
*1archaic : [[rejected]] as worthless or not standing a test : [[condemned]]
*2a : foreordained to [[damnation]]
:b : [[morally]] [[corrupt]] : depraved
*3: [[expressing]] or involving reprobation
==Description==
'''Reprobation''', in [[Christian]] [[theology]], is a corollary to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvinism Calvinistic] [[doctrine]] of unconditional [[election]] which derives that some of [[mankind]] ([[Chosen People|the elect]]) are predestined by [[God]] for [[salvation]]. Therefore, the remainder are left bound to their fallen [[nature]] and [[eventually]] to [[eternal]] [[damnation]]. This same state of unbelief is also known as reprobation. In Calvinist [[terminology]], the non-elect are often referred to as the '''reprobate'''. Similarly, when a sinner is so hardened as to feel no remorse or misgiving of [[conscience]], it is considered as a sign of reprobation.
