Accommodable

/əˈkɒmədeɪtəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being accommodated; suitable or able to be adapted or adjusted.

Etymology

From accommodate (to provide lodging or adapt) plus the suffix -able, meaning 'capable of being.' The root comes from Latin accommodare (to fit to).

Kelly Says

Unlike 'accommodating' (which describes helpful people), 'accommodable' describes things that can be accommodated—it's a real word but so awkward that most writers avoid it entirely.
