Discommodes

/ˌdɪskəˈmoʊdz/ verb

Definition

Third person singular present tense of discommode; causes inconvenience or discomfort to.

Etymology

From discommode (verb) + -s (third person singular marker). This is the conjugated form used when discussing what a single person or thing does to inconvenience others.

Kelly Says

The way English conjugates verbs to mark who's doing the action feels natural to us, but this -s ending is actually a remnant of Old English grammar—it's wild that we've kept this tiny marker for centuries.
