Setter Meaning in English

word

ˈsɛtɝ
SET-er
sˈɛtɐ
SET-uh

释义

A 'setter' can mean a type of dog bred for hunting, a person or thing that sets or arranges something, or the player in volleyball who sets the ball for teammates to attack.

用法与细微差别

'Setter' is formal for the dog breed, neutral for a person/device that sets things, and sport-specific in volleyball. In volleyball, the 'setter' is a key playmaker. Don't confuse 'setter' for 'set' (the verb). For dogs, always capitalized when part of the breed name ('Irish Setter').
