Well, maybe.
I think you mean the word spelled fey.
Also from the Encarta World English Dictionary:
fey 1.
(omitted)
2. SUPERNATURAL - relating to or typical of magic or the supernatural
3. CLAIRVOYANT - supposedly able to see into the future
4. SCOTLAND - DOOMED TO DIE [Old English faege,
Yeah, blame John! :)
For what it's worth, in the 25 years I have been involved in the
mechanical packaging design of electronic enclosures, I have never heard
of the word faying. One can't help but wonder if someone just
misspelled facing.

Bob,
before you go round the houses on this, I suggest you talk to Trace at A2LA.
He can tell you what a lab should really be doing IMHO, a spreadsheet is
all you really need.

Greeting fellow vocabularians,
The root word, 'fay is ancient Scottish, meaning to have the power of
prediction. Those of you that are fay may have seen this coming.
I wonder if anticipating grounding is similar to expecting volts.

Does anyone know of any measurement uncertainty software that may be on the
market to
help in the determination of measurement uncertainty for the various EMC
test methods?

The Encarta World English Dictionary says:
Fay to join pieces of wood together tightly, or fit tightly inside
another piece of wood.
Do note this is a hard-cover dictionary, NOT an online one. I have not
(yet) looked online.

Ed,
Thank you. Especially the part blaming Woodgate.
My grandfather's name was Fay (son of Irish immigrant) and I always wondered
at the origin of that name.

A couple of weeks ago, there was a thread discussing bonding techniques for
ground studs. I suggested that MIL-B-5087 had some nice drawings showing
typical accepted military practices. Of course, MIL-B-5087 has been
superseded by MIL-STD-464, but you can still find electronic copies of
