Disaccomodate

/ˌdɪs.ə.ˈkɒm.ə.deɪt/ verb

Definition

An alternate or archaic spelling of disaccommodate, meaning to inconvenience or fail to provide suitable lodging.

Etymology

This is a variant spelling of disaccommodate, reflecting older English spelling conventions where double consonants were sometimes reduced. Both forms were used in early modern English.

Kelly Says

Spelling wasn't standardized until relatively recently—before the 1700s, people spelled words however seemed reasonable to them, which is why you see 'disaccomodate' and 'disaccommodate' used interchangeably in old texts.
