Surface Forms

accommodation singular

Morphology

accommodation = accommodate (transparent) = accommodate + ion

Standard noun formation from the verb 'accommodate' meaning 'to provide lodging', so the noun meaning 'a place to stay' is directly derived.

Etymology

Accommodation comes from the Latin verb accommodare meaning 'to make fit', and it shares the same root as accommodate. So an accommodation as a place to stay is something set up to 'fit' your needs and make you comfortable.
