Word origin
The word 'commode' originated from the French word 'commode', which means convenient or suitable. It was first used in English in the late 17th century to describe a piece of furniture with drawers. Over time, the term also came to refer to a portable toilet chair. The dual usage of 'commode' for furniture and toilet highlights its versatility in English language.
