Fit; competent (4)
I believe the answer is:
able
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'fit' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)
'competent' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)
(Other definitions for able that I've seen before include "Adept" , "Having great proficiency or intelligence" , "Competent as seaman may be" , "Practised" , "Having the necessary capacity (to do something)" .)
