Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Middle English fitte (meaning a section of a poem or song, or a struggle/bout), which came from Old English fitt (conflict, poem), though the modern adjective and verb senses arose in the 16th century, likely related to 'fitting' or being suitably adjusted in size or quality.
