… certainly bound to condemnation (2,5)
I believe the answer is:
no doubt
'certainly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bound to condemnation' is the wordplay.
'condemnation' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bound'+'to'='boundto'
'boundto' anagrammed gives 'NO DOUBT'.
(Other definitions for no doubt that I've seen before include "Bound to, unquestionably" , "Almost certainly" , "To be sure" , "sign of agreement" , "Surely" .)
