commodious [adj. kuh-MOE-dee-us]

If something is commodious then it is comfortably spacious. Example:
"The new sleeper cars feature commodious cabins with private showers
and tables large enough for four to play cards."
The meaning of this word has changed somewhat from Middle English,
when something commodious was convenient, suitable, or handy. The
word is from Latin commodus (convenient), a compound of com-
(together) and modus (measure).
Other words from commodus include these:
commode: decorated cabinet; toilet stand; tall headdress for women
commodity: useful article of trade or commerce
incommode: disturb, cause to be inconvenienced
accommodate: do a favor; make suitable; allow for; adapt to
