    How the English word “fit” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.

    FIT, adjective

    [This is from the root of Eng. pass; pat. In Latin competo, whence compatible, signifies properly to meet or to fall on, hence to suit or be fit from peto. This is probably the same word.
