cómodo

/ˈkomodo/ · B1 · adj

comfortable

🛋️ cómodo = commodious: roomy, so comfortable; same root as accommodate

From Latin commodus (com- with + modus measure): fitting the right measure, hence suitable and convenient. English kept the root in commodious, commode and accommodate. Someone too cómodo is taking it easy, which gives the lazy sense.
