commodious \kuh-MOH-dee-us\, adjective:
Comfortably or conveniently spacious; roomy; as, a commodious house.
I have the Dictionary.com Word of the Day as my home page. Some times it amazes me what is actually a word. This one sounds made up to me. Like someone was just trying to sell a house and they point to different things and say "This is so spacious and...... commodius!"

I love a challenge.
"No, I didn't buy the house. Although it was commodious and, well, sui generis in that it had its own brewmaster and staff onsite that were included in the purchase, the butler was tetchy and the brewmaster produced small beer; to boot, the cook carried around the George W. Bush autobiography around as if it were his vade mecum."
