NET
Windows development platform
A net is a grid-like structure of interconnected strands: a fishing net, a tennis net, the Internet (the net).
To net something is to catch it.
The other net refers to amounts after deductions: net worth, net income, net profit.
To net an amount is to have that much left after costs: We netted fifty thousand on the sale.
