unfitted

Lacking proper adjustment

Unfitted means not suited or adapted for a particular purpose or role: He was unfitted for military life by temperament.

The word also describes something not equipped with fittings or not made to fit precisely—an unfitted kitchen lacks built-in cabinets, an unfitted sheet has no elastic corners.

The term is somewhat formal; unfit or unsuited often substitute in casual speech.
