The act or process of adjusting; adjustment. An archaic or rare term for the action of making something fit or suitable.
From 'adjust' + -age suffix (typically forming nouns from verbs). This term appears in older English texts but has largely been superseded by 'adjustment,' which has a clearer formation.
This word is a fossil in English—it shows up in 18th-century texts but 'adjustment' sounded better to speakers' ears, so 'adjustage' faded away, demonstrating how languages naturally prune less-pleasing word formations.
