About This Root
From Old French suite (a following), ultimately from Latin sequī (to follow). The "following" sense evolved into matching or fitting: a suit of clothes (items that follow/match each other), suitable (fit to follow along), lawsuit (a legal following/pursuit), and suite (a set of rooms or music pieces that follow in sequence).
