accom

Accom is a colloquial term often used as a shortened form of "accommodation." It generally refers to a place to stay, such as a hotel, apartment, room, or temporary housing. The context in which "accom" is used typically clarifies the specific type of lodging being discussed. For instance, someone might say they are looking for "accom in London" or have "booked their accom for the holiday."

The term is common in informal settings, especially among travelers and in online discussions related to travel and accommodation booking. It is widely understood in many English-speaking countries, though it is not considered formal English. The use of "accom" can be seen as a linguistic shortcut, simplifying communication about lodging needs.

While "accommodation" is the standard and formal term, "accom" serves a practical purpose in everyday conversation and digital communication, allowing for quicker and more casual exchanges. Its prevalence can be attributed to the trend of shortening words for convenience in modern language use.
