A stet is a proofreading mark used to instruct the writer to disregard a change the editor had previously marked. It is usually produced by writing and circling the word "stet" above or beside the unwanted edit and underscoring the selection with dashes or dots. Occasionally "OK" or "✓" may be used in place of "stet," as they are easier to understand for those not familiar with proofreading symbols.
Stet is Latin for "let it stand," and can also be used as a verb, e.g. "Stet that colon."

To clarify: if you've made a change to a manuscript, and then regret it, you write "stet," meaning "leave it as it was in the original."
