Etymology
The word commensurateness comes from parts that mean 'with' and 'measure': com- 'with' and mensura 'measure', the same root as measure. Imagine two things that match in size, like equal pieces or balanced scales, to get the image. That's why commensurateness means being matching in size, amount, or degree.
