Fetting

/ˈfɛtɪŋ/ noun

Definition

The process of cleaning or dressing the surface of something, particularly in metalworking or printing where edges are trimmed and refined.

Etymology

From the verb 'fet' meaning to clean or prepare a surface. This technical term developed in trades like printing and metalwork where finishing surfaces was essential to quality work.

Kelly Says

In old printing shops, 'fetting' was the detail work that separated sloppy from stunning—it's the kind of forgotten craft word that shows how much pride artisans took in their work!
