The word “mete” has historically been employed in literature to connote the act of measuring out, apportioning, or dishing out something—often justice, fate, or authority. In English texts, authors like Mark Twain ([1]) and H. Rider Haggard ([2]) use phrases such as “mete out justice” or “mete out their fate” to underscore the deliberate allocation of outcomes, a sentiment echoed in Burke’s metaphorical “mete out the splendor of the crown” ([3]) and Nietzsche’s ancient refrain “with what measure ye mete” ([4]). Meanwhile, in Spanish literature and proverbial collections, “mete” appears in idiomatic expressions—as seen in Benito Pérez Galdós’ works ([5], [6], [7]) and various adages ([8], [9], [10], [11])—where it often functions imperatively or nominally to suggest the act of inserting or involving, sometimes in a socially or colloquially charged manner. Philological notes in texts like those by Thomas Jefferson ([12], [13], [14], [15]) and Herodotus ([16], [17]) further illuminate its variant forms and evolving use in different linguistic and cultural contexts.
