Fittage

/ˈfɪtɪdʒ/ noun

Definition

The act, process, or cost of fitting; or fixtures and fittings collectively.

Etymology

From 'fit' plus the suffix '-age' (act, process, or collection of), creating a noun. The '-age' suffix often creates abstract nouns for processes or collections, as in 'baggage' or 'passage.'

Kelly Says

Old invoices from tailors and builders mention 'fittage costs' as a separate line item—it's a wonderfully economical word that bundles the entire process of fitting into one professional term.
