To direct, usually by writing the word in the margin of a proof, that a correction or deletion already marked should be ignored and the original text kept.
An editor who wants a crossed-out word restored will stet the deletion rather than retyping the passage: writing stet beside the mark tells the typesetter to undo the change and print the text exactly as it first stood. The word is Latin for let it stand.
