'accommodationist' originates from the English word 'accommodation,' which comes from the Latin word 'accommodare,' where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'commodare' meant 'make fit.'

'accommodare' transformed into the French word 'accommoder,' and eventually became the modern English word 'accommodate,' from which 'accommodationist' is derived.

Initially, it meant 'to make fit or suitable,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a person who seeks compromise.'
