Let L/K be an extension of fields. If L \otimes_K L \to L is flat, then L is an algebraic separable extension of K. (Stacks Project, Tag 092P)

Let K be a field. Suppose that K \to B is weakly étale, then

  1. every finitely generated K-subalgebra of B is étale over K,

  2. B is a filtered colimit of étale K-algebras, i.e. B is ind-étale.

    Any finitely-generated subalgebra of a weakly étale algebra is étale. 

It suffices to show the first statement. A field is an absolutely flat ring by Lemma 2.1.4, hence B is an absolutely flat ring by Lemma 2.1.9. And B is reduced and every local ring is a field, by Lemma 2.1.11 and Lemma 2.1.12.

Let q \subset B be a prime. The ring map B \to B_q is weakly étale by Lemma 2.1.6, hence B_q is weakly étale over K (Lemma 2.1.5). Thus B_q is a separable algebraic extension of K by Lemma 2.3.1.

Let K \subset A \subset B be a finitely generated K-subalgebra. We will show that A is étale over K which will finish the proof of the lemma.

TBA.

Then every minimal prime p \subset A is the image of a prime q of B. Thus \kappa(p) as a subfield of B_q = \kappa(q) is separable algebraic over K. Hence every generic point of \mathrm{Spec}(A) is closed. Thus \dim(A) = 0. Then A is the product of its local rings. Moreover, since A is reduced, all local rings are equal to their residue fields which are finite separable over K. This means that A is étale over K and finishes the proof.
