Etymology
'accommodator' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'accommodare,' where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'commodare' meant 'make fit or suitable.'
'accommodare' transformed into the French word 'accommoder,' and eventually became the modern English word 'accommodate,' from which 'accommodator' is derived.
Initially, it meant 'to make fit or suitable,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a person who provides accommodation or makes adjustments.'
