fittingness
Quality of suiting
Fittingness is the quality of being appropriate or suitable to a situation.
The word appears most often in philosophical and theological contexts, where it describes how well something matches what a circumstance calls for: the fittingness of the punishment to the crime, the fittingness of Christ's incarnation.
In ordinary speech, appropriateness or suitability usually serves the same purpose.
