Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the noun 'commodity', which traces back via Old French and Middle English to the Latin 'commoditas' meaning appropriateness, convenience, or benefit, ultimately from 'commodus' (convenient, suitable). The suffix '-ize' (from Greek) and '-ation' were added in modern economic discourse during the late 20th century to describe the process by which goods or services lose their differentiation.
