incómodo

/inˈkomodo/ · B1 · adj

uncomfortable

🌵🪑 in- (not) + cómodo (comfortable) = not comfortable, like English in-convenient

Cómodo comes from Latin commodus, meaning fitting or convenient, which also gave English commodious and commode. Add the negative prefix in- and you get its opposite: incómodo, uncomfortable or awkward.
