Morphology
accommodate = accommod + ate
Although formed from Latin combining elements plus the verb-forming suffix '-ate', the internal element 'accommod' is not a recognisable standalone English base for an average B1 learner, so the meaning cannot be transparently derived from known English parts.
Etymology
Accommodate comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and commodare 'make suitable', from commodus 'convenient', the same root as the English word commodity 'a useful thing'. So to accommodate someone is to do a favor by making things 'convenient' or 'easy' for them.
