Hey Dictionary

What does “vetted” mean?

vetted

Oh, this is a good one —

"Vetted" means someone or something has been carefully checked and approved. Like, you looked into it deeply to make sure it's safe, trustworthy, or good enough.

So imagine a company hiring someone for a really important job — they check the person's past, their references, everything. You'd say, "All new employees are fully vetted before they start." Or if a friend recommends a doctor, they might say, "Don't worry, she's vetted — I've seen her for years, she's great."

It can also work for things, not just people. Like, "Only vetted sources are allowed in the report" — meaning sources that were carefully checked and confirmed to be reliable.

Basically, if something is vetted, it passed a serious check and you can trust it.
