Accommodated

/əˈkɑːmədeɪtɪd/ verb

Definition

Provided lodging or adjusted something to fit someone's needs.

Etymology

From Latin 'accommodare' (to fit to, adapt), combining 'ad-' (to) and 'commodus' (suitable). The meaning evolved from physical fitting to broader senses of adjustment and provision of services.

Kelly Says

The word literally meant 'to make suitable' in Latin, which is why it works for both giving someone a hotel room AND adjusting your schedule for a friend's needs—they're both forms of making things fit.
