Discommodious

/ˌdɪskəˈmoʊdiəs/ adjective

Definition

Uncomfortable, inconvenient, or not suited to one's needs; lacking comfort or accommodation.

Etymology

From dis- + commodious (from Latin commodiosus, 'roomy or convenient'). Adding dis- reverses the meaning, creating an adjective meaning the opposite of roomy and convenient.

Kelly Says

Latin loved this structure—taking a positive word and negating it with a prefix—so 'discommodious' is basically the Latin way of thinking baked into English. It's precision insulting: instead of 'not nice,' you get 'specifically inconvenient.'
