reaccommodate

Reaccommodate is a verb meaning to provide accommodation again or to adjust arrangements to suit new circumstances. It is formed by adding the prefix re- to the verb accommodate, indicating repetition of the action. The word is used in contexts where a person or group is relocating, reforming schedules, or modifying arrangements after an initial accommodation has been made. For example, a university might reaccommodate a returning student by reinstating their housing arrangement, or an airline could reaccommodate passengers after a flight delay. Reaccommodate is generally considered a formal or semi‑formal term and is less common in casual speech. Its related forms include reaccommodation (noun) and reaccommodative (adjective). Synonyms encompass readjust, readjust, reorganise, or reassure in the sense of re‑arrangement. While accommodate refers to the act of providing lodging or meeting needs, reaccommodate emphasizes the repetition of that act in light of changes. The term appears in legal, educational, travel, and business documentation where repeated arrangements to meet needs are specified. It is derived from Middle English, with the root from Old French acomodar and Latin accommodare, meaning to adapt or fit. The word conforms to standard English morphological rules for verb formation.
