Etymology

The term 'fitted' originates from the verb 'fit,' which is derived from the Old Norse word 'fitja,' meaning 'to knit or arrange.' The usage of 'fit' as a word reflecting suitability or the act of adjusting to a form dates back to Middle English around the 14th century. Over time, 'fitted' emerged as the past participle form, evolving to specifically describe clothing molded to the shape of a body more tightly than traditional loose-fitting garments. By the 19th century, 'fitted' had gained a significant foothold in fashion terminology, particularly with the rise of bespoke tailoring and numerous design innovations that underscored body shapes and contours. The word has since secured its status in modern language, encompassing both fashion (as in clothing) and functional applications (as in installations).
