- commodity (n.) early 15c., "benefit, profit, welfare;" also "a convenient or useful product," from Old French commodité "benefit, profit" (15c.) and directly from Latin commoditatem (nominative commoditas) "fitness, adaptation, convenience, advantage," from commodus "proper, fit, appropriate, convenient, satisfactory," from com-, here probably an intensive prefix (seecom-), + modus "measure, manner" (from PIE root *med- "take appropriate measures").
