Etymology
The word 'pet-accommodating' is a modern compound in English, formed from 'pet' and 'accommodating.' 'Accommodating' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'accommodare,' where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'commodare' meant 'make fit.'
'Accommodating' changed from the Middle English word 'acommodaten,' which came from Old French 'accommoder,' and eventually became the modern English word 'accommodate.' The compound 'pet-accommodating' is a recent formation in English.
Initially, 'accommodating' meant 'making fit or suitable,' but in the compound 'pet-accommodating,' it evolved to mean 'willing to allow or accept pets.'
