kepasitan

Kepasitan is a nominal term in Indonesian that denotes the state or quality of being fit, suitable, or appropriate for a particular purpose, context, or set of requirements. It is formed with the prefix ke- and the suffix -an from the base pas, conveying the idea of suitability or fit. The concept is commonly used in formal or analytical discourse to assess how well a plan, policy, product, or process aligns with specified objectives and constraints.

The assessment of kepasitan typically involves evaluating relevance, feasibility, compatibility, and adequacy. In policy analysis, kepasitan measures whether a proposed policy can realistically achieve its intended outcomes within political, economic, and social conditions. In design and engineering, it concerns the interoperability and functional fit of components within a system, as well as adherence to standards. In project appraisal or management, kepasitan helps determine whether actions and resources are appropriate for the desired results and risks involved.

Kepasitan is related to several Indonesian terms such as kesesuaian (appropriateness or suitability), kecocokan (fit or compatibility), kelaikan (feasibility or admissibility), and kepastian (certainty). While the concept shares overlaps with these terms, kepasitan emphasizes the broader evaluation of fit to purpose across contexts. The term is more common in formal, theoretical, or evaluative writing than in everyday speech.
