Understanding the Difference Between Commander and Commandeer

"Commander" is a noun that refers to a person who has authority and responsibility for commanding or directing a group of people, such as a military officer or a ship's captain.

"Commandeer" is a verb that means to take control of something, often by force or without permission. For example, "The pirates commandeered the ship and its cargo."

So, while "commander" refers to a person in charge, "commandeer" refers to the act of taking control by force.
