accommodate
Fit someone in
Accommodate means to make room for or adjust to fit.
A hotel accommodates guests by providing rooms.
You accommodate someone's needs by adapting to them: We can accommodate dietary restrictions.
A room that accommodates fifty people has space for that many.
To accommodate also means to do someone a favor or help them out: I'm happy to accommodate your schedule.
The spelling—two c's, two m's—trips up many writers.
