fitting
Right for the situation
Fitting describes something appropriate or suitable for a particular situation: It seemed fitting to end the evening with a toast.
A fitting is a small standardized part—a plumbing fitting, an electrical fitting.
In tailoring, a fitting is a session where garments are tried on and adjusted for proper fit: She has a fitting for her wedding dress tomorrow.
