Definition

Not designed or made to fit a specific person or purpose; not suitable or appropriate for a particular use.

The unfitted clothes were too loose and did not look good on her.

Conversation

I tried on that jacket you recommended, but it felt really unfitted on me.

Oh no, that’s disappointing! What was wrong with it?

It just didn’t shape well to my body; it was too loose everywhere.

That makes sense. Maybe you should look for something more tailored.

Root Explanation

Unfitted → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "fitted" (from Old English "fittan", meaning to fit or to make suitable). The word "unfitted" means not made suitable or not fitting.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') making something 'suitable' ('fitted') — that's why unfitted means not suitable.
