  1. fitting

    Adequate, commensurate, and sufficient signify equal to some given occasion or work; as, a sum sufficient to meet expenses; an adequate remedy for the disease. Commensurate is the more precise and learned word, signifying that which exactly measures the matter in question. Adapted, fit, suitable, and qualified refer to the qualities which match or suit the occasion. A clergyman may have strength adequate to the work of a porter; but that would not be a fit or suitable occupation for him. Work is satisfactory if it satisfies those for whom it is done, though it may be very poor work judged by some higher standard. Qualified refers to acquired abilities; competent to both natural and acquired; a qualified teacher may be no longer competent, by reason of ill health. Able and capable suggest general ability and reserved power, able being the higher word of the two. An able man will do something well in any position. A capable man will come up to any ordinary demand. We say an able orator, a capable accountant.

    able, adapted, adequate, capable, commensurate, competent, equal, fit, fitted, qualified, satisfactory, sufficient, suitable

    Antonyms:
    disqualified, inadequate, incompetent, inferior, insufficient, poor, unequal, unfit, unqualified, unsatisfactory, unsuitable, useless, worthless

How to use fitting in a sentence?

  1. Kent Larson:

    (Transforming) solutions need to be designed as furniture to allow for retro-fitting and new construction, they also need to be effortless to be sustainable for daily life -- almost magical. Transforming your apartment should be as easy as opening a door.

  2. Cynthia Sass:

    If you'll be wearing a form-fitting outfit or bathing suit, you might not want to reach for an apple.

  3. T. S. Eliot:

    We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in but its fitting in is a test of its value -- a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.

  4. Linda LaRue:

    If a T-shirt is off a half an inch (1.3 centimeters) it doesn’t’ matter, but because it’s a form-fitting garment active wear has to be precise.

  5. Martin Cheek:

    We very much appreciated the support Leo gave us in campaigning to protect Ebo last year so it seemed fitting to honour him in this way, naming a species unique only to Ebo Forest, after him, had the logging concession gone ahead, we would have likely lost this species to timber extraction and slash and burn agriculture that usually follows logging concessions.
