Condescendre is a formal, somewhat literary verb meaning to condescend — to agree to do something while implying it's beneath you (il a condescendu à nous répondre). It almost always carries a note of irony or criticism about the person's attitude.
Condescendre takes à before an infinitive (condescendre à faire quelque chose), not de — a preposition slip that's easy to make by analogy with other verbs.
