Incorrect spelling, explanation: acommodate is considered a mistake because it doesn’t follow the correct spelling conventions of the word in English. Accommodate comes from the Latin word accommodare, which contains both double -c and double -m. These were carried over into English to preserve the structure and pronunciation of the original Latin word. Spelling it as acommodate with only one -c ignores this historical root.

Correct spelling, explanation: the word accommodate comes from the Latin verb accommodare, which means to make fit or to adapt. The etymology of accommodate is rooted in ad- (meaning to or toward) and commodare (meaning to make fit, to provide, or to lend), derived from commodus (meaning convenient or suitable). Acommodate (with a single -c) has no valid etymology and is simply a misspelling. It disregards the Latin roots and linguistic rules that form the word’s correct structure.
