set by
Kept for later
Set by identifies the agent or standard responsible for something: rules set by the committee, prices set by the market, a deadline set by the client.
The phrase connects an established thing to whoever or whatever established it.
Less commonly, to set something by is to reserve it for later use: She set by enough flour for the winter.
