https://www.etymonline.com/word/condescend condescend (v.) mid-14c., of God, a king., etc., "make gracious allowance" for human frailty, etc.; late 14c., "yield deferentially," from Old French condescendere (14c.) "to agree, consent, give in, yield, come down from one's rights or claims," and directly from Late Latin condescendere "to let oneself down, stoop," in Medieval Latin "be complaisant or compliant," from assimilated form of Latin com "with, together" (see con-) + descendere "to descend," literally "climb down," from de "down" (see de-) + scandere "to climb," from PIE root *s

Praying for both of you and all the others who know and love this wonderful cat. -
They claim quite a few books and authors. Perhaps contact some of they authors and find out their reaction. I noticed a couple of series, which could be legit or might be "owners."

Glad he is no longer missing. Praying that he will feel better. If he is not eating or drinking, it might be a good idea to take him to the vet. Some kind of digestive blockage? Kidney problems? -
This is how a language grows--people take existing words and create new forms of them. That's a great word! Praying for you and yours.
