Definition

An old-fashioned way of saying 'don't worry about it' or 'don't stress'—the kind of phrase your Victorian grandmother would use while sipping tea. It's sincere and genteel, though wildly out of place in modern conversation.

Example Usage

You missed the deadline? Fret not, we can push the presentation back a week.
