Definitions

  1. insert or adjust several objects or people

Word origin

Possibly from Middle English fit (“an adversary of equal power”), of uncertain further origin. The original sense appears to have been "to marshal or deploy troops", which shifted to "to suit (troops to a certain location" > "suitable", and may be further related to Icelandic fitja (“to web, knit, cast on”).

Used in a sentence

  • You have nothing to say about it. I'll do exactly as I see fit.
  • Is it fit to say a king, Thou art wicked?
  • He had drunk more than was fit for him, and he was singing some light song, when he saw approaching, as he said, the pale horse mentioned in the Revelation, with Death seated as the rider.
