Definition 37.8.1. Let $f : X \to S$ be a morphism of schemes. We say $f$ is formally étale if given any solid commutative diagram
\[ \xymatrix{ X \ar[d]_ f & T \ar[d]^ i \ar[l] \\ S & T' \ar[l] \ar@{-->}[lu] } \]
where $T \subset T'$ is a first order thickening of affine schemes over $S$ there exists exactly one dotted arrow making the diagram commute.
