Today's Word "commensurate"

commensurate \kuh-MEN(T)S-uhr-it; -shuhr-\ (adjective) - 1 : Equal in measure, extent, or duration. 2 : Corresponding in size or degree or extent; proportionate. 3 : Having a common measure; commensurable; reducible to a common measure; as, commensurate quantities.

""You have a rank commensurate with your achievements," said Admiral Chamrajnagar, "but you will have duties commensurate with your training." -- Orson Scott Card, 'Ender in Exile'

Commensurate is from Late Latin commensuratus, from Latin com-, "with, together" + Late Latin mensuratus, past participle of mensurare, "to measure," from Latin mensura, "measure."
