    Question Why???

    Why do the words extra ordinary, which would make you think of a person who is very average, when combined mean just the opposite of very average, extraordinary???
    This is what I find myself contemplating today.

    Extraordinary

    1a : going beyond what is usual, regular, or customary.
    extraordinary powers
    b : exceptional to a very marked extent.
    extraordinary beauty

    2 : employed for or sent on a special function or service.
    an ambassador extraordinary
