To fail to provide lodging or suitable arrangements for someone, or to inconvenience them.
From dis- (opposite) + accommodate (from Latin accommodare, meaning 'to fit to'). The prefix dis- negates or reverses the action of accommodating, which emerged in English in the 1500s.
This word reveals how English often creates opposites by adding 'dis-' to positive actions—it's like a linguistic shortcut that lets us say the opposite without inventing brand new words. You'll rarely hear 'disaccommodate' today, but it shows how flexible and creative language-making has always been.
