Fettle is one of those northern words that can end up meaning almost anything, but I suppose it always has something to do with working or doing:

'I'm in fine fettle' - fettle here seems to mean 'health' but I guess is probably 'working order'.

'What fettle?' - How are you doing?

Interesting, I agree.
