Rebating is the cutting of a rectangular slip out of the side of a piece of wood.

The re-entering angle left upon the wood is called the rebate or rabbet.

A rebated joint, then, is one in which corresponding rebates are taken off edges so that the joined boards may overlap.

It is used in flooring and siding.
A board is rebated and filleted when two adjoining rebates are filled with a fillet.
