Commensurate - a podcast by Word of the Day

Commensurate is an adjective that means equal in amount or extent.

The Latin word mensura (men SUE ruh) means ‘to measure.’ By adding the prefix C-O-M, we get a word that means ‘measured together’ or ‘measured equally.’

All of Lydia’s employees received commensurate pay. She does that to ensure that no one is envious of anyone else’s salary.
