WHAT DOES STET MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Stet

Stet is a form of the Latin verb sto, stare used by proofreaders and editors to instruct the typesetter or writer to disregard a change the editor or proofreader had previously marked. This usage comes from the third person singular form, present tense, active voice, subjunctive mood of the verb. This usage, called the jussive subjunctive, is typically translated as, "let it stand." This convention is usually marked by writing and circling the word stet above or beside the unwanted edit and underlining the selection with dashes or dots. Alternatively, a circled tick may be used in the margin. In connection with this usage, stet is also sometimes used as a verb, e.g., "Stet that colon."
