A something something fit.
F .I .T. For example, a sneezing fit.
What does it mean to sneeze, S -N -E -E -Z -E?

That's a sneeze. A sneezing fit is when you continue to sneeze.
Nonstop sneezing. Or maybe you have a coughing fit, C -O -U -G -H, cough.

Did you ever have a sneezing fit?
You know, sometimes when I look at the sun, I sneeze.
Sometimes when I get a cold I sneeze, but I've never had a sneezing fit.
However, I have had a coughing fit when I was sick.
Oh, those can be very painful.
Now another common fit would be a laughing fit.
But usually we say a fit of laughter.
That's right, we can use fit as a noun, a fit of laughter, a fit of sneezing, a fit of coughing.
That's not common. fit of laughter, a fit of anger, a fit of depression.
These are also common expressions.
A depression fit? No. An anger fit?
