How Accommodating
Surface Forms
Morphology
accommodating = accommodate (transparent) = accommodate + ing
Formed as a standard present-participle/participial adjective from the verb 'accommodate' so the meaning 'willing to help' directly derives from the verb sense 'to oblige/adjust'.
Etymology
Accommodating comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and commodare 'make fit', from commodus 'convenient'. So an accommodating person is ready to 'make things fit' for others by changing plans or helping out.
