Meaning & History

Derived from the Latin word #commodus#, which can mean "suitable, convenient, opportune" as well as "full, complete, of full weight". The word is ultimately derived from Latin #com# "with, together" and #modus# "measure, manner". Also compare the Latin verb #commodo# "to lend, to provide, to bestow, to accommodate" and the Latin noun #commodum# "a convenient opportunity, favourable condition, convenience, advantage". A famous bearer of this name was Commodus, a Roman Emperor from the 2nd century AD.
