1. To adjust actions in response to the needs of someone or others.
2. To be adaptable enough to allow something to take place without a major change.
3. To have sufficient space for someone or something.
4. To provide for or to supply a person or other people with a place to stay.
5. To adapt to a new suitable situation.
6. To give someone money in response to a request for a loan.
7. Etymology: from Latin accomodatus, "suitable"; from accomodare, "to make fit, to adapt, to fit one thing with another thing"; from ad-, "to" + commodare "to make fit"; from commodus, "fit, suitable".

A reference to being helpful and obliging: "The teacher was accommodatingly helpful with the new student by giving him some private tutoring."

1. Something that meets a need; a convenience; such as, a room or building to live in.
2. A seat, a compartment, or a room on a public vehicle.
3. A reconciliation or a settlement of opposing views or the modification of actions in response something.
4. The automatic adjustment in the focal length of the lens of the eye to permit retinal focus of images of objects at varying distances.
5. A financial favor, such as a loan of money; especially, by a financial institution as a favor to someone before a formal credit arrangement is made.

1. The deliberate processing of a carrier signal so that its amplitude varies in accordance with the level of the modulating signal.

It is used in ordinary radio broadcasting; such as, AM radio, and in transmitting the video portion of a television signal.

2. Variation of the amplitude of a carrier wave (commonly a radio wave) in correspondence to fluctuations in the audio or video signal being transmitted.
3. Changing the amplitude of a radio wave.

A higher wave is interpreted as a "1" and a normal wave is interpreted as a zero.

By changing the wave, the RFID tag can communicate a string of binary digits to the reader.

Computers can interpret these digits as digital information. The method of changing the amplitude is known as amplitude shift keying, or ASK.

1. A low cabinet or chest of drawers, usually elaborately decorated.
2. A chair or box-shaped piece of furniture holding a chamber pot covered by a lid.
3. A movable washstand with a cupboard underneath containing a chamber pot or washbasin.
4. A plumbing fixture for defecation and urination; a toilet.
5. Etymology: "chest of drawers," earlier (1680's) a fashionable ladies' headdress, from French, commode, "convenient, suitable"; from Latin commodus, "proper, fit, appropriate, convenient, satisfactory"; from com-, "with, together" + modus, "convenient; suitable; measure".

1. Pleasantly spacious or large and roomy.
2. Generous or large in area or extent; roomy.
3. Etymology: "beneficial, convenient", from Medieval Latin commodiosus, "convenient, useful", from Latin commodus, "proper, fit, appropriate, convenient, satisfactory"; from com-, "together, together with" + modus, "measure, manner".

A reference to being comfortably roomy or conveniently spacious and ample.

1. Something useful that can be turned into a commercial or other advantage.
2. An article of trade or commerce; especially, an agricultural or mining product which can be processed and resold.
3. Etymology: in the 15th century, "benefit, profit, welfare"; later "a convenient or useful product"; from Middle French commodité, "benefit, profit"; from Latin commoditatem, commoditas, "fitness, adaptation, convenience, advantage"; from commodus, "suitable, convenient".

1. To cause problems, discomforts, or inconveniences for someone.
2. To put someone, or people, to an inconvenience; to cause trouble.

1. A reference to being inconvenient, bothersome, or troublesome.
2. A descriptive term for causing (someone or people) trouble or inconvenience.

1. The instantaneous variation of the frequency of a carrier wave in response to changes in the amplitude of a modulating signal, which provides a more static-free transmission of radio waves than AM (amplitude modulation) broadcasting.
2. Variation of the frequency of a carrier wave (commonly a radio wave) in accordance with variations in the audio signal being sent.

Developed by American electrical engineer Edwin H. Armstrong in the early 1930's, FM is less susceptible to outside interference and noise; such as, thunderstorms, nearby machinery, etc. than is AM.

Such noise generally affects the amplitude of a radio wave but not its frequency, so an FM signal remains virtually unchanged.

FM is also better able to transmit sounds in stereo than AM and commercial FM broadcasting stations transmit their signals in the frequency range of 88 megahertz (MHz) to 108 MHz.

1. Going beyond what is healthy, moral, appropriate, or socially acceptable.
2. Exceeding the normal or appropriate bounds; extreme: "The immoderate talking by the students made it impossible for the teacher to continue with her lesson."

1. A reference to something which is exceeding normal or appropriate bounds; extremely.
2. To a degree that exceeds the bounds or reason or moderation.
3. Excessively; to an undue degree; unreasonably; as, to weep immoderately.

1. Not sensible or restrained; excessive; such as, immoderate drinking.
2. Exceeding just, usual, or suitable bounds: "His eating habits were considered to be acts of immoderation."

1. Not properly restrained in expression or self-assertion; boastful.
2. Having or showing an exaggerated opinion of one's importance, ability, etc.
3. Likely to embarrass, to offend, or to shock people; especially, because of open references to sexual matters or exposure of parts of the body that are normally covered.
