accommodated

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'adapted?' is the definition.
('accommodate' can be a synonym of 'adapt')

(Other definitions for accommodated that I've seen before include "Allowed room for" , "Made comfortable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
