Accommodativeness

/əˌkɒməˈdeɪtɪvnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or characteristic of being willing and able to adapt, adjust, or meet others' needs.

Etymology

From accommodative + -ness suffix, which transforms adjectives into abstract nouns representing the state or quality of having that characteristic.

Kelly Says

The -ness suffix is a word-building superpower—it lets us bottle up a quality and talk about it as a thing, so accommodativeness becomes a trait someone can develop and strengthen over time.
