Setter \Set"ter\, v. t.
   To cut the dewlap (of a cow or an ox), and to insert a seton,
   so as to cause an issue. [Prov. Eng.]

Setter \Set"ter\, n.
   1. One who, or that which, sets; -- used mostly in
      composition with a noun, as typesetter; or in combination
      with an adverb, as a setter on (or inciter), a setter up,
      a setter forth.

   2. (Zo["o]l.) A hunting dog of a special breed originally
      derived from a cross between the spaniel and the pointer.
      Modern setters are usually trained to indicate the
      position of game birds by standing in a fixed position,
      but originally they indicated it by sitting or crouching.

   Note: There are several distinct varieties of setters; as,
         the Irish, or red, setter; the Gordon setter, which is
         usually red or tan varied with black; and the English
         setter, which is variously colored, but usually white
         and tawny red, with or without black.

   3. One who hunts victims for sharpers. --Shak.

   4. One who adapts words to music in composition.

   5. An adornment; a decoration; -- with off. [Obs.]

            They come as . . . setters off of thy graces.
                                                  --Whitlock.

   6. (Pottery) A shallow seggar for porcelain. --Ure.
