After the great (sarcasm) reception to my "Why does a mouse havea shodw on" thread, I've come up with another question.

Ok, the word "Extraordinary"

Extra = more
Ordinary = normal

so, how do you get "better" from "more normal"?

Quote 1431, from L. extraordinarius, from extra ordinem "out of order," especially the usual order, from extra- "out" + ordinem (nom. ordo) "order."

You put such forethought into your posts.
