A complete collection or pattern of bricks arranged together, or the initial setting of bricks in mortar as it hardens.
From 'brick' plus 'set', from Old English 'settan' meaning 'to place' or 'to put down.' This describes either a grouping of bricks or the process of the mortar setting.
The 'setting' of brickwork is a crucial phase—mortar doesn't instantly harden, and buildings have been known to collapse if bricks are added to walls before the lower courses properly set, making timing absolutely critical.
