ADAPT
What adapt means
To make changes to something so it works better in a new situation or environment, or to adjust your behavior or thinking to fit new circumstances.
Where the word comes from
From Latin *adaptare*, meaning "to fit to," formed from *ad-* (to) and *aptare* (to fit or join), which derives from *aptus* (fit or suitable). The root *apt* likely traces to Proto-Indo-European *ap-*, relating to fastening or joining. The word entered Middle English through Old French *adapter* and has maintained its sense of adjusting or making suitable since the 14th century.
