In grammar, a modifier (or qualifier) is an optional element in phrase structure or clause structure; the removal of the modifier typically doesn't affect the grammatical nature of the construction. Modifiers can be a word, a phrase or an entire clause. Semantically, modifiers describe and provide more accurate definitional meaning for another element.
In the expression common sense, common is a pre-modifier.
