What does fettle mean?

"Fettle" means condition or state of health or well-being.

It's often used in phrases like:

* "In good fettle": Meaning someone is healthy, happy, and energetic.

* "In poor fettle": Meaning someone is unwell, tired, or in low spirits.

* "To put someone in good fettle": Meaning to make someone feel happy and healthy.

Example:

* "After a good night's sleep, I woke up feeling in excellent fettle."

* "The old car is in pretty poor fettle, it needs a lot of repairs."

It's a slightly old-fashioned word, but still commonly used in British English.
