Etymology

The word "accommodating" traces back to Latin accommodare ("to fit one thing to another"), combining ad- (toward) + com- (with) + modus (measure). Over time, it evolved to mean "adapting to needs" or "making suitable arrangements." The suffix -ing turns the verb into an adjective, emphasizing a helpful or adaptable nature.
