archaicformal
In a manner that is fit, suitable, or proper for the occasion.
Fitly is the adverb built on fit, and writers use it to say that something was done in a proper, suitable or well-matched way. It appears often in older prose describing speech, actions or objects that match their circumstances exactly, as when a phrase is fitly chosen for a solemn moment. Modern English tends to reach for suitably or aptly instead, which is why fitly now reads as slightly formal or old-fashioned.
