However, I suspect a more general and more concrete meaning to be older. Commensurability in the classical sense always indicates the existence of a common "unit", such that the two entities are integer multiples of that unit. It would be consistent to call succh a common unit a commensurator. (In

predates the modern concept of real number, and does not depend of it. On the contrary, it may be used in order to lay a logically sound foundation for the concept of real numbers themselves.

the case of two commensurable subgroups of a given group, a "commensurator" in this sense would be their intersection, or any other common subgroup with finite indices in both.)

However, the context in which the term appears in the article is hardly specific enough or even understandable as it stands. It should be either expanded or dropped.

IMHO, the article initial paragraph now limits itself too much to a special case, expressed in modern terminology. The theory of commensurable and incommensurable

I know a meaning in group theory, which a google search indicates is rather ubiquitous: the commensurator of a subgroup

There was a link to Stack (category theory). As the latter has been split, the link has been updated accordingly.
