Etymology Origin:
The word "commodious" traces back to the Latin commodus, which combines com- (intensifying prefix) and modus (measure, manner). Originally, it implied something well-measured or fitting, evolving into the modern sense of "spacious" or "comfortably convenient." The suffix -ious reinforces the adjective form, emphasizing the quality of adaptability or ample space.
