One way to picture it: someone who gives the orders that a group must follow. The whole group looks to one person, and that person's word decides what everyone does — that person is the commander.
From the word’s history
From Old French comandeor, from comander (to command); by surface analysis command + -er, literally 'one who commands'.
來自古法語 comandeor，由 comander（命令）而來；用現代英語拆開就是 command + -er。所以這個字從頭到尾就是「下命令的人」，後來在軍隊和警察系統裡被拿去當正式職稱，意思才慢慢固定成特定的階級名稱。
