Origin

Mid 18th century (in sense 2): from French, literally 'convenient, suitable', from Latin commodus. sense 1 dates from the early 19th century.

accommodate from mid 16th century:
The source of accommodate is Latin accommodare ‘make fitting, fit one thing to another’, formed from commodus ‘fit’. It came into English with the basic Latin sense, and through the idea of finding something that fitted someone's needs, had developed the sense of ‘provide lodgings for’ by the early 18th century. Latin commodus is also the base of commode (mid 18th century) something ‘fit, convenient’, and originally used of a chest of drawers before becoming a seat containing a chamber pot in the early 19th century and of commodity (Late Middle English) originally something useful.
