revetv.¹

Brit.

/rᵻˈvɛt/, U.S.

/rəˈvɛt/,

/riˈvɛt/

Forms: 1700s– reveted (past participle), 1800s rêvete (irregular), 1800s– revet, 1800s– revête (now rare), 1800s– revetted (past participle). See also revest v.²

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French revêtir.

Etymology: < French revêtir to furnish (a place or structure) with a protective cover, e.g. with boards (a1365 in Middle French as revestir ), to provide (a wall, rampart, etc.) with a revetment (1552), transferred uses of revestir revest v.¹ Compare earlier revest v.², and also earlier revêtement n., revetment n. N.E.D. (1908) recorded this material at two separate entries, revet and revête, the first with the pronunciation (rĭve·t) /rɪˈvɛt/ and the second with the pronunciation (rĭvēⁱ·t) /rɪˈveɪt/. However, in the inflected forms reveted and reveting it is often impossible to tell from written evidence whether the corresponding stem form is revet or revete (with the accent omitted); it is also likely that the pronunciation /rɪˈvɛt/ would also be found for the form revête.

transitive. To face (an embankment, rampart, wall, etc.) with masonry or other material; to provide with a revetment.
