Definition

An RR-algebra AA is étale if the definition homomorphism RAR \to A is, dually, an étale morphism of schemes.

A more elementary definition for algebras over a discrete field exists in constructive algebra.

étale morphism\Rightarrow pro-étale morphism \Rightarrow weakly étale morphism \Rightarrow formally étale morphism
