释义	† Facetn.¹ Forms: Middle English Faceet, Middle English Facett; N.E.D. (1894) also records a form Middle English Faucet. Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin Facetus, facētus. Etymology: Ultimately < post-classical Latin Facetus, spec. use (in a work title) of classical Latin facētus (see facete adj.), perhaps via Middle French.In the medieval period there were two Latin works with the title Facetus, one written in hexameters and the other in distychs. The former should probably be dated to the 12th cent. and the latter to the 13th. The author of the former is called magister Iohannes ‘master John’ in several manuscripts but is almost certainly not to be identified with John of Garland (13th cent.). The Facetus in hexameters offers guidance on manners and conduct in daily life, the Facetus in distychs offers advice to young men, particularly in matters of love. The former was more widely read and is probably that referred to here. It was intended as a supplement to the Distychs of Cato and was widely used as a manual in schools. It was translated into French and gave rise to a number of imitations. Obsolete. The title of a medieval manual of behaviour which was used in schools.
