/deeped'@tayt/ , n. [by (faulty) analogy with decapitate ] Humorously, to
|
|
|
|
|
cut off the feet of. When one is using some computer-aided typesetting
|
|
|
|
|
tools, careless placement of text blocks within a page or above a rule can
|
|
|
|
|
result in chopped-off letter descenders. Such letters are said to have been
|
|
|
|
|
depeditated.
