In addition to its meanings of “protection and support,” patronize has acquired a negative connotation. Human nature being what it is, the beneficial act of patronizing a good cause is often accompanied by an overt attitude that the donor is superior to the recipient. As a result, “to patronize” has become a synonym for “to condescend.”
