Condemn complicated cures (5)

I believe the answer is:

curse

'condemn' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'complicated cures' is the wordplay.
'complicated' indicates an anagram.
'cures' anagrammed gives 'CURSE'.

(Other definitions for curse that I've seen before include "Execrate" , "Imprecation or oath" , "Wish harm on" , "Profanity" , "Malediction or expletive" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
