1. To engage the starter with the ring-gear on the engine before the starter is turned on. IE to "pre-engage" it.
2. To turn the starter on once it is Engaged.
This prevents/reduces damage to the gear-teeth on both the starter and the ring gear.

Is fitted a word?
Yes. But not in the sentence "the key fitted into the lock". An example: the woman was fitted for her fancy dress so it would be the right size.
How did cars start 1940s prior ignition keys?
In those days, the only way to start the car is to use the "starter lever" which is a long bar with male/female head/socket fitted to it and the car engine. You insert this through a hole in front, and rotate it a few times to start the car. Very similar to kick starting a motor bike. Self Starter was invented much later. When you had a manual starter car, and if you were to be frail and cannot start the car, then park the car in a slope somewhere near the house, and when the car starts to move, then engage the gear to "start it"

Ford fiesta and it won't start i got a new starter motor but it still won't start what could it be?
Could be heater plugs if its a diesel or maybe the battery. Check the earth (ground) cables between the engine and body for cleanliness and security of connection. Turn the ignition key, you should hear the starter solenoid 'click'. If it does, the cable from the battery to the starter is a fused link, connect a starter cable between the battery and starter motor solenoid and try to start. If there is no 'click' the fault is either the ignition switch or the wiring from the solenoid to it. If the car is automatic it should only start in Park (P) and Neutral (N). check the operation of the gearbox start inhibit switch. If an aftermarket alarm is fitted check the security and cleanliness of the wiring connections, especially the immobilizer circuit.
