fitly

/ˈfɪtli/ adv B2

in a proper or suitable manner

Word Origin From Old English fitt, which meant both 'a conflict' and 'suited' — the idea of something being a good match. Fitly means in a fitting manner. The word gives us fitness, fitting, misfit, and befit. The root is of uncertain origin, but it's a great example of a word that evolved from 'struggle' to 'proper'.
