Understanding Incommode: The Latin Root of Unsuitability

Incommodes is a Latin word that means "unsuitable, unfit, or inappropriate". It is derived from the prefix "in-" meaning "not" and the verb "commodare", which means "to fit or to be suitable". In English, the word "incommode" is used to describe something that is not suitable or convenient for a particular purpose. For example, a small car might be incommode for transporting a large family, or a person with a disability might find certain buildings incommode due to lack of accessibility.
