OP Interesting that commode means convenience. Every Day Things thread has mentioned commode as the toilet bowl, and the word is often used by itself to mean a commode chair, that is one with a chamber-pot. Also (in UK at least) public toilets are known as public conveniences.
I suppose the link between "convenience" and toilets must be quite strong!
