Etymology: Commodiously is a plain formation: the adjective "commodious" with the adverbial suffix "-ly" added. The adjective itself comes from Latin "commodus," meaning "convenient" or "suitable," built from "com-" ("together, with") and "modus" ("measure, manner"), so the sense of fitting well together with a proper measure runs through the whole family. The suffix has a long ancestry of its own, traceable back through Old English "-līċe" to a Proto-Germanic form meaning "in the manner of a body" (the same root as "like"), which is why "-ly" turns adjectives into adverbs of manner.
