FIT

Letters representing words

Fit’s core idea is a match between two or more things.

This is manifested in the verb, noun, and adjective meanings.

If something fits, it matches the size or requirement of another thing, as in the key doesn’t fit the lock.

If you are fit, you’re in good condition, physically or mentally.

In British English, a fit can be an attack of a medical condition such as epilepsy.

In informal use, a fit is a sudden burst of emotion, usually anger.
