Extra-Ordinary

For the longest time I've had a problem with the word "extraordinary". In English it means "super", though if we break it down it's "extra ordinry". Like it should mean "boring".

"Man, this house ain't just ordinary, it's extra-ordinary".

In the middle of writing this I looked up the etymology...."ordinary" is Latin-based equivilating to the English "order" (think "ordinal"). So, "extraordinary" is "going beyong the normal order (of things)." Well, I suppose everything is just wrapped up in a neat little package, then! (It really is!)
