Etymology
The word accommodative comes from the verb accommodate, which originally meant 'to make fit' or 'to make comfortable', and you can see the same idea in accommodation when people change a room or a plan to help someone. So, to be accommodative is to be willing to adjust or change your plans to help others and keep things peaceful.
