stet

 
   
phrase an instruction to a printer to leave something without making any corrections which have been instructed (NOTE: From the Latin word meaning ‘let it stand’.) ■ verb to ignore a correction in text He phoned the printer to tell him to stet the correction on the last page of proofs.



COMMENT: When instructing the compositor not to change a typeset text, the part to be left without changes is underlined with a dotted line and the word ‘stet’ is written in the margin (nowadays, a tick is also used).
