Etymology of WERE FITTING
The phrase "were fitting" consists of two separate words with distinct etymologies:
1. "Were": This is the past tense of the verb "to be" in the subjunctive mood. Its etymology can be traced back to the Old English word "wǣron", which is the plural form of "wæs" (meaning "was"). Ultimately, these words can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "was", which means "to dwell" or "to remain". The word "were" is used to indicate an action or state that is hypothetical, contrary to fact, or uncertain.
2. "Fitting": This is the present participle of the verb "to fit", which means to be suitable, appropriate, or to correspond well with something else.
