Why is it feminine?
Commode is feminine in French. It is a noun meaning a piece of furniture (a chest of drawers or small cabinet), and the translation "dresser" is approximate. The word derives from the Latin adjective "commodus" (convenient, suitable), which became the French adjective "commode." The noun "commode" (the furniture piece) developed from this adjective used substantively to mean "a convenient piece of furniture." French retained the feminine gender because the underlying adjective "commode" is feminine in French, following standard French gender patterns for adjectives used as nouns.
