accommodator
Person who obliges
An accommodator is someone who accommodates—who adjusts to meet others' needs or makes room for differing views.
The term appears in educational psychology for learners who prefer hands-on experience over abstract theory.
In law, an accommodator signs a note to help another obtain credit without receiving direct benefit: The bank required an accommodator to guarantee the loan.
