A quick definition of stet:

STET: A word that means "let it stand." It can be used in two different ways. In Maryland, it is used to stop legal proceedings when a prosecutor decides not to continue with a case. In editing, it is an instruction to leave a text as it is without making any changes.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Stet (stet), n. is a Latin term that means "let it stand." It has two meanings:

  1. An order that stops legal proceedings, usually when a prosecutor decides not to proceed with a case and puts it on a stet docket. This term is commonly used in Maryland.
  2. An editor's instruction to leave a text as it is.

Example 1: The prosecutor decided not to pursue the case, so the judge issued a stet order, and the case was put on hold.

Example 2: The editor reviewed the manuscript and decided to leave the text as it was, so he wrote "stet" in the margin.

Both examples illustrate the use of the term "stet" in different contexts. In the first example, the term is used in a legal context, where a prosecutor decides not to proceed with a case, and the judge issues a stet order to put the case on hold. In the second example, the term is used in an editorial context, where an editor decides to leave the text as it is and writes "stet" in the margin to indicate that no changes should be made.
