Etymology
佶 combines 亻 (person) with 吉, which likely contributes the sound and carries a sense of good fortune or correctness, suggesting a person in a sound state.

Reading mnemonic
For キツ, imagine a healthy person doing kits (exercises) to stay correct and fit: kits -> キツ, and the person stays in top shape.
