Brit.

/əˈkɒmədeɪt/, U.S.

/əˈkɑməˌdeɪt/

Forms: 1500s accomidate, 1500s–1800s accomodate, 1500s– accommodate, 1600s acomodate, 1700s accommadate; also Scottish pre-1700 accommodat, pre-1700 accomodat, pre-1700 accomodat (past participle), 1700s accommodat (past participle), 1700s accomodate (past participle).

Origin: A borrowing from Latin; probably partly modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Latin accommodāt-, accommodāre.

Etymology: < classical Latin accommodāt-, past participial stem (see -ate suffix³) of accommodāre to fit or fasten on, attach, to fit together, to make to agree (in time), to synchronize, (in grammar) to make to agree (in form), to make suitable, adapt, to make available, provide, (reflexive) to adjust or adapt < ac- ac- prefix + commodāre commode v. In several senses probably influenced by Middle French accomoder, Middle French, French accommoder (1336; see further below). Compare Catalan acomodar (16th cent.), Spanish acomodar (end of the 13th cent.), Portuguese acomodar (1570 as †accomodar ), Italian accomodare (end of the 13th cent.). Compare slightly earlier accommodate adj. and later accommode v.Many senses of the English verb are paralleled in French, e.g.: ‘to reconcile (a difference, a discord)’ (1336 in an apparently isolated attestation in Middle French, subsequently from 1636), ‘to adapt or adjust (a thing or person) to (another thing or person)’ (1530), ‘to adapt oneself to (another thing or person)’ (1539), ‘to repair, put in order’ (1552), ‘to provide lodging for, house (a person)’ (1606), ‘to reconcile (people)’ (1636), ‘to be suitable or convenient for (a thing or person)’ (1636 with reference to a trait of character, 1663 with reference to a person), ‘to come to terms (with a person)’ (1654, used reflexively). With sense 3a also compare Middle French, French (now archaic and rare) raccommoder (1587). In sense 3d originally after French accommoder (1601 as †accomeder in this sense, in the passage translated in quot. 1608). With the specific ophthalmological use in senses 5a, 5b compare later accommodation n. 1d.

Brit. /əˈkɒmədeɪt/, U.S. /əˈkɑməˌdeɪt/ Forms: 1500s accomidate, 1500s–1800s accomodate, 1500s– accommodate, 1600s acomodate, 1700s accommadate; also Scottish pre-1700 accommodat, pre-1700 accomodat, pre-1700 accomodat (past participle), 1700s accommodat (past participle), 1700s accomodate (past participle). Origin: A borrowing from Latin; probably partly modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Latin accommodāt-, accommodāre. Etymology: < classical Latin accommodāt-, past participial stem (see -ate suffix³) of accommodāre to fit or fasten on, attach, to fit together, to make to agree (in time), to synchronize, (in grammar) to make to agree (in form), to make suitable, adapt, to make available, provide, (reflexive) to adjust or adapt < ac- ac- prefix + commodāre commode v.

Compare Catalan acomodar (16th cent.), Spanish acomodar (end of the 13th cent.), Portuguese acomodar (1570 as †accomodar ), Italian accomodare (end of the 13th cent.). Compare slightly earlier accommodate adj. and later accommode v.Many senses of the English verb are paralleled in French, e.g.: ‘to reconcile (a difference, a discord)’ (1336 in an apparently isolated attestation in Middle French, subsequently from 1636), ‘to adapt or adjust (a thing or person) to (another thing or person)’ (1530), ‘to adapt oneself to (another thing or person)’ (1539), ‘to repair, put in order’ (1552), ‘to provide lodging for, house (a person)’ (1606), ‘to reconcile (people)’ (1636), ‘to be suitable or convenient for (a thing or person)’ (1636 with reference to a trait of character, 1663 with reference to a person), ‘to come to terms (with a person)’ (1654, used reflexively). With sense 3a also compare Middle French, French (now archaic and rare) raccommoder (1587).
