Etymology
'accommodations' originates from Latin, specifically the 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' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to make fit or suitable,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'lodgings or arrangements.'
