フェット

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip

fet は現代では fetish の短縮形として現れる名詞で、一般的な標準語というより、くだけた表記や特定の共同体で使われる形として捉える。意味を推測するときは、fetish が表す「強い執着の対象」または性的嗜好という文脈を確認する。見慣れない場合は fetish と読み替えるのが安全。

Treat fet as a clipped form of fetish rather than as an unrelated word. When it appears as a noun, restore the missing -ish mentally and check whether the context concerns an object of intense attachment or a particular sexual interest. Because fet is uncommon and may belong to informal or community-specific usage, fetish is usually the safer choice in ordinary writing. This connection also prevents confusion with fetch or fête, which have different spellings, pronunciations, and meanings. Context is essential when the shortened form appears by itself.

fet の語源・成り立ち Etymology

名詞 fet は現代では fetish の短縮形として使われます。fetish はフランス語 fétiche、さらにポルトガル語 feitiço、ラテン語 facticius「人工の」にさかのぼり、「作られた呪物」から「強い執着対象」へ意味が伸びました。関連語は fetish, factitious。

As described here, fet is a shortening of fetish. Fetish entered English through French fétiche from Portuguese feitiço, referring to an object believed to possess supernatural power. The Portuguese word is related to Latin facticius, “made by art” or “artificial,” from facere, “to make.” The meaning later broadened to an object of excessive attachment and developed specialized psychological and sexual senses. The clipped form retains meanings supplied by its context.
