synonym for
condition
fettle
noun
[
fet
-l ]
fettle
is another word for
condition
The noun
fettle
is a somewhat old-fashioned way to refer to a person’s physical state or frame of mind. It’s almost always used in the positive with the descriptor
fine
: a person who is in
fine fettle
is feeling good and maybe even looking good, too. If you go looking for it, you may spot
fettle
in other sunny combinations, such as
good fettle,
excellent fettle
,
high fettle
, and
better fettle.
Contrast that with the noun
condition
, which is indeed used to refer to a person’s state of health, but, in those uses, is more likely to be found alongside descriptors such as
critical
or
poor
.
Commonly found as
look in fine fettle
The older gentleman
looked
in fine fettle
with good posture and impeccably coiffed hair.
put in fine fettle
Eating all the blueberry pancakes
put
them
in fine fettle
