Etymology

The word 'fittest' is derived from the Old English term 'fit', which means 'suitable, appropriate, or proper'. The suffix '-est' indicates the superlative form, suggesting the highest degree of a quality. The phrase 'survival of the fittest', coined by philosopher Herbert Spencer and associated with Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, popularized the usage of the term in both biological and colloquial contexts. Over time, 'fittest' has come to represent not only physical endurance and health but also adaptability and resilience in various settings, thus broadening its application beyond mere physical fitness.
