Wikipedia
Reprobation
Reprobation, in Christian theology, is a doctrine which teaches that a person can reject the gospel to a point where God in turn rejects them and curses their conscience. The English word reprobate is from the Latin root probare (English: prove, test), which gives the Latin participle reprobatus (reproved, condemned), the opposite of approbatus (commended, approved). The doctrine is found in many passages of scripture, such as Romans 1:20-28, 2 Corinthians 13:5-6, Proverbs 1:23-33, John 12:37-41, and Hebrews 6:4-8. In Christian doctrine, when a sinner is so hardened as to feel no remorse or misgiving of conscience for particularly vile acts, it is considered a sign of reprobation. The doctrine does not stipulate that because of reprobates' wicked deeds God will not save them, but rather that God has effectively permanently withdrawn his offer of salvation by giving them over to a seared conscience, now capable of willingly committing certain sins not common among mankind.

reprobation
Reprobation is the state of being rejected or condemned, often associated with religious context. It is the divine act by which God eternally condemns some to everlasting punishment for their sins. In a broader, non-religious context, it also refers to severe disapproval or rejection.

Reprobation
Reprobation, in Christian theology, is a corollary to the Calvinistic or broadly Augustinian doctrine of unconditional election which teaches that some of mankind are predestined by God for salvation. Therefore, the remainder are left bound to their fallen nature and certain damnation. This same state of unbelief is also known as reprobation. In Calvinist terminology, the non-elect are often referred to as the reprobate. Similarly, when a sinner is so hardened as to feel no remorse or misgiving of conscience, it is considered as a sign of reprobation. The English word, reprobate, is from the Latin root probare, and thus derived from the Latin, reprobatus, the opposite of approbatus.
