English Synonyms and Antonyms(0.00 / 0 votes)Rate these synonyms:

1. fit

   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.

   Synonyms:
   able, adapted, adequate, capable, commensurate, competent, equal, fitted, fitting, qualified, satisfactory, sufficient, suitable

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

   Preposition:
   Adequate to the demand; for the purpose.

1. Sarah Longwell:

   It's not that Donald Trump just gives The President aides material for the ads, it's about Donald Trump not being fit to be The President, and everybody is seeing that now.

2. Sara Pantuliano:

   The one thing that is forgotten the most is the levels of stress and trauma aid workers experience, and that is particularly true for local staff because they often have family affected by this crisis, i think people don't even raise the issue of being under stress or the threat of burning out or needing a proper break, needing to recuperate, because they may be accused of not being fit for the job.

   The President is just horrifically unpopular, because Orange County Republicanism is really a libertarianism. The Republicans here want lower taxes, they want less government regulations, they want more local control. They find the anti-gay, anti-women's choice, anti-environment really doesn't fit.

5. James Comey:

   Donald Trump strikes me as a person of above average intelligence who's tracking conversations and knows what's going on. I don't think Donald Trump's medically unfit to be president. I think Donald Trump's morally unfit to be president, a person who sees moral equivalence in Charlottesville, who talks about and treats women like they're pieces of meat, who lies constantly about matters big and small and insists the American people believe it, that person's not fit to be president of the United States, on moral grounds.
