Conversation

I just bought a new shirt that’s semifitted and I love how it feels.

That sounds great! I prefer clothes that aren’t too tight or too loose.

Root Explanation

Semifitted → It is formed from "semi-" (meaning half) and "fitted" (from Old English "fittan", meaning to fit or adjust). The word "semifitted" describes something that is fitted or adjusted to a certain extent, but not completely.

Memory Tip

Think of 'semi-' meaning half, and 'fitted' meaning adjusted — so semifitted refers to something that is only partially adjusted.
