sett
Underground badger dwelling
A sett is the underground burrow system where badgers live, consisting of tunnels and chambers that may be used by generations of the same family.
The word is primarily British: The naturalist found fresh digging at the sett's entrance.
Separately, sett is a variant spelling of set in the sense of a paving block or the pattern of stripes in tartan.
