commanding
/kəˈmɑːndɪŋ/
When describing a person's voice or personality, "commanding" is usually a positive trait implying natural leadership and respect. In a physical sense, such as when describing a building or a hill, it means the location allows you to see everything below, which was historically important for military defense. When used in sports or competitions, it describes a lead that is so large it is very unlikely the other side will win.
