Etymology
Module comes from the Latin modulus, meaning 'small measure', and is related to the word mode, which means a way or form, so imagine a separate 'room' you can attach or remove from a larger ship. That's why a spacecraft module is a detachable part made for a single purpose like living space or engines.
