set-u-lous is an old word - or rather 3 words for someone who has lost a tennis game.
set - you- lost or
set- your -loss - but today it is written setulous.
Happy weekend

You are right, dear Mariannina!! The word "setulous" comes from the old Gaelic word "silkless" which means "not as silky as Silke"!

After reading Mariannina �s post, then I guess it means a smooth operator.
Frank is a smooth operator with the girls. |

 Ummm, Frank??
I�ve just tried to look it up in an online dictionary, but none of them was able to find that word... 
This is what Merriam Webster says:
Did you by any chance mean "sedulous"?

Awww - thanks for the prize Frank - it �s just what I wanted! (We �re in the Champions League you know!!!!!  )
setulous - well if credulous is gullible, then setulous must be someone who belives in sets - I think it �s another term for a type of obsessive-compulisive disorder. Used to describe someone who has to have everything in matching sets. They would freak out if they broke a plate and hace to buy a whole new set to match.
