A map f \colon Y \to X is weakly étale if f is flat and \Delta_f\colon Y \to Y \times_{X} Y is flat. (Bhatt–Scholze, Definition 4.1.1)

(Local property of weakly étale morphisms.) f \colon Y \to X is weakly étale if and only if for every affine open U of Y and every affine open V of X with f(U) \subset V, the induced ring homomorphism \Gamma(X, V) \to \Gamma(Y, U) is weakly étale.

    `WeaklyEtale` is induced by the ring-homomorphism property `RingHom.WeaklyEtale`,
    in the sense that a morphism `f : X ⟶ Y` of schemes is weakly étale iff for every affine
    open `U ⊆ Y` and every affine open `V ⊆ X` with `f(V) ⊆ U`, the induced ring homomorphism
    `Γ(Y, U) → Γ(X, V)` is weakly étale.

Weakly étale morphisms of schemes are local on source and on target for the Zariski topology, so the property descends to affine opens. There it matches the ring-theoretic definition via the characterisation of weakly étale algebras (Definition 2.1.1).

Etale morphisms are weakly étale.

Proof for Lemma 5.2.3
uses 0

Any étale morphism is flat and its diagonal is an open immersion, hence flat.

Weakly étale is stable under composition and base change. (Bhatt–Scholze, Lemma 4.1.6)

Proof for Lemma 5.2.4

This follows because flat is stable under composition and base change.
