How Do You Spell STETTING?

Pronunciation: [stˈɛtɪŋ] (IPA)

Stetting is a term used in proofreading to indicate that a previously marked correction should be ignored and the original text should be retained. The spelling /stɛtɪŋ/ is derived from the German word "stet" which means "let it stand". The word is commonly used in publishing and legal fields to signify that changes have been made to a document but the original version should still be considered valid. In short, "stetting" is a way to retract a correction and keep the original text unchanged.

STETTING Meaning and Definition

1. Stetting is a term used in the field of journalism, particularly in relation to correcting errors in a published article or story. It refers to indicating that previous edits or changes made to a text should be disregarded and the original, or previously printed, version should be considered correct or accurate.

   When an editor or journalist wants to revert to the original version of a text rather than using the latest revisions, they would mark the area with "stet" or the term "stetting" to indicate their intention. This signal requests the typesetter or graphic designer to ignore any suggested changes or modifications and maintain the original wording or formatting.

   The word "stet" itself is derived from the Latin verb "stet" meaning "let it stand." It has its origins in the printing industry, where typesetters or proofreaders traditionally used a proofreading mark that consisted of a series of dots underlining a word or phrase. This signified a request to retain the original form and layout. Over time, "stet" has become a shorthand term within the publishing world and has been extended to "stetting" as a noun to specifically refer to the act of marking a section that should remain unchanged.

   Stetting plays a crucial role in maintaining accuracy and preventing errors from being introduced during the process of editing or revising a text. It allows editors to retract suggested modifications and preserve the writer's original intent or content.

Etymology of STETTING

The term "stetting" is not derived from an individual word per se, but rather has its origins in the realm of journalism and editing. It is derived from the phrase "let it stand", which is commonly abbreviated as "stet" in proofreading marks. When an editor comes across an error in a text, they may mark it for correction by adding the proofreading marks, including the word "stet" to indicate that the previous, crossed-out text should be ignored and left as originally written. The term "stetting" is essentially the gerund form of "stet", used to describe the action of endorsing or allowing a text to remain as initially written by negating any edits.
