commodoren.

Brit.

/ˈkɒmədɔː/, U.S.

/ˈkɑməˌdɔr/

Forms: 1600s commandore, 1600s commedore, 1600s–1700s commadore, 1600s–1700s comodore, 1600s– commodore, 1700s commador.

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Dutch. Etymon: Dutch commandeur.

Etymology: Apparently < Dutch †commandeur, kommandeur (see commander n.; mid 17th cent. denoting a naval officer in command of part of a squadron), with reduction of the second syllable.It has sometimes been suggested that the word is an adaptation of Spanish comendador commendador n.; however, this suggestion presents formal problems, and the early quotations do not show any evidence of contact with Spain or its colonial empire.

I. A commander of a ship or fleet and related senses.

a. A naval officer in command of a convoy, squadron or fleet, on a temporary or permanent basis. Also as a title.Quots. 1634 and 1669 apparently show broader use, in reference to the person in command of a group of ships (in these instances in a mercantile context; cf. later specific use in sense 2c).
