fittingness

/ˈfɪtɪŋnəs/ noun

The state or condition of being fitting; suitability.

Word Origin Fittingness is the quality of being fitting, appropriate. The verb 'fit' comes from Middle English 'fitten', meaning to be suitable. The -ing makes it an adjective (fitting), and -ness turns it into an abstract noun. So fittingness is suitability. Related words: 'fitness' (the state of being fit), 'unfit' (not suitable), and 'outfit' (a set of clothes that fit together).
