Etymology

First attested in 1641; borrowed from Late Latin commēnsūrātus, from com- (“together, with”) + mēnsūrātus, perfect passive participle of mēnsūrō (“to measure, to estimate”), (see -ate (adjective-forming suffix) and -ate (verb-forming suffix)), from Latin mēnsūra (“measure”) + -ō (verb-forming suffix).
