FITS THE BILL ORIGIN

FITS THE BILL

The phrase used to describe something that is just what is required is derived from the Bill of Lading. This was an inventory of goods received and a promise to deliver in the same condition signed by the captain of a merchant ship. When the ship reached its destination the cargo would be confirmed according to the bill.
