Fitting encounter (4)
I believe the answer is:
meet
I believe this is a double definition.
'fitting' is the first definition.
('meet' can be a synonym of 'fitting')
'encounter' is the second definition.
('meet' can be a synonym of 'encounter')
(Other definitions for meet that I've seen before include "Proper; touch" , "Sporting encounter" , "acceptable" , "See 24" , "Come together or run into" .)
