From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  delint /dee-lint/ v. obs. To modify code to remove problems detected
     when {lint}ing. Confusingly, this process is also referred to as
     `linting' code. This term is no longer in general use because ANSI C
     compilers typically issue compile-time warnings almost as detailed as
     lint warnings.
