Etymology
1. "suited to the circumstances, proper," c.1440, of unknown origin, perhaps from M.E. noun
fit "an adversary of equal power" (c.1250), which is perhaps connected to fit (n.1). The verb meaning "to be the right shape" is first attested 1581. First record of
fitness is from 1580.
Survival of the fittest (1867) coined by H. Spencer.
2. 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”). See: Icelandic '
fitja'.
