Etymology
Condensing comes from parts that mean 'together' and 'thick' — con- 'together' and densus (the same root as English dense) meaning 'thick'. So condensing is literally bringing things together to make them denser or take up less space, which fits both when steam turns to water and when you make a long text shorter.
