The term "biting" directly refers to the process of etching, where acid or another corrosive substance is used to etch into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design. "Resist" and "stopping out" are related terms used in the etching process. "Resist" is a protective coating applied to areas of the plate that the artist wishes to protect from the acid, and "stopping out" is the process of applying a resist to areas of the plate during the etching process to stop them from being further etched, allowing for varied depths of line and texture. Therefore, all the terms are associated with the etching process.
