Morphology

reaccommodate = accommodate (transparent) = re + accommodate

The prefix 're-' adds the standard meaning 'again' or 'anew' to the familiar verb 'accommodate', yielding a readily inferable meaning.

Etymology

Reaccommodate breaks into re- meaning 'again' and accommodate meaning 'make room' or 'fit someone in'. So it is like moving furniture or giving someone a new room again after a change, which is why it means to adjust or arrange something again.
