Word origin

The word 'incommode' originates from the Latin term 'incommodare', which translates to 'to make inconvenient'. This Latin word combines the prefix 'in-', meaning 'not', and 'commodus', meaning 'suitable or convenient'. It was adopted into Middle English in the late 14th century and has retained its formal connotation throughout its history. While the usage has diminished in everyday language, particularly in modern contexts, 'incommode' is still seen in legal, diplomatic, or very formal writings, illustrating a sense of disturbance or inconvenience that is considered significant enough to warrant mention.
