The word "fitted" is the past participle form of the verb "fit". The etymology of "fit" can be traced back to the Old English word "fitt", which meant "a conflict, struggle, footstep, a fitting out, equipment". It is related to Middle Dutch "vitten" and Old Norse "fitja", both meaning "to quarrel". The word eventually evolved in Middle English to refer to the state of being suitable or appropriate, as in "fitting" clothing or objects. Over time, "fitted" came to be used specifically to describe something that has been tailored or adjusted to suit a particular form or purpose.
