Fit to purpose, or environment.
I might be extremely fit in the modern sense, but I an not fit for survival in the desert.
In a different sense I am not as fit as someone who lives a nomadic life, but I am better fitted than they for survival in a modern city.

Charles Darwin called the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce is its environment?
Fitness
Why does the phrase survival of the fittest does not accurately reflect Darwin's concept of evolutionary fitness?
Darwin's concept of evolutionary fitness refers to how the genes reproduced through generations are those that are necessary to survival. So, if an organism has a genetic trait that makes it susceptible to prey, then it gets killed and cannot pass its genetic information to offspring. So, its trait is lost over time. This is Darwin's concept. The phrase "survival of the fittest" is not accurate in terms of Darwin because it refers to strong organism, which is not necessarily the case in terms of survival through genetic traits. These traits may be present in a small, weak organism, which may not seem strong and physically fit, but its genes are still passed on since it survives
What are any inherited characteristic that increases an organisms chance of survival called?
Adaptation."Darwin argued that fitness arises through a process called adaptation. Successful adaptations enable organisms to become better suited to their environment, better able to survive and reproduce. Darwin also used the word adaptation to describe any inherited characteristic that increases an animal's or plant's fitness for survival."-Prentice Hall Biology Text book.
