Webster's 1828 Dictionary

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

FIT, noun

[Latin peto, impeto, to assult, or to Eng. pet, and primarily to denote a rushing on or attach, or a start. See fit suitable.]

  1. The invasion, exacerbation or paroxysm of a disease.
  2. A sudden and violent attack of disorder, in which the body is often convulsed, and sometimes senseless; as a fit of apoplexy or epilepsy; hysteric fits.
  3. Any short return after intermission; a turn; a period or interval.
  4. A temporary affection or attack; as a fit of melancholy, or of grief; a fit of pleasure.
All definitions and other forms of “fit”
  1. Disorder; distemperature.
  2. Anciently, a song, or part of a song; a strain; a canto.

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. The primary sense is to come to, to fall on, hence to meet, to extend to, to be close, to suit. To come or fall, is the primary sense of time or season.]

  2. Qualified; as men of valor fit for war.“No man having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God” Luke 9:62

FIT, verb transitive

  1. To adapt; to suit; to make suitable.“The carpenter - marketh it out like a line, he fitteth it with planes” Isaiah 44:13
  2. To accommodate a person with any thing; as, the tailor fits his customer with a coat.
  3. To prepare; to put in order for; to furnish with things proper or necessary; as, to fit a ship for a long voyage. fit yourself for action or defense.
