To provide what is needed for someone or something, such as space, help, or adjustments; or to adapt to someone else’s needs.
From Latin *accommodare* “to make fit, adapt,” from *ad-* “to” and *commodus* “suitable, convenient.” It originally meant making something fit properly.
Whether it’s a hotel accommodating guests or a teacher accommodating different learning styles, the core idea is ‘making things fit.’ The word hints that flexibility is a kind of hospitality: you’re reshaping your world so others can belong in it.
