What does and etc mean?
The abbreviation of et cetera is etc. Use etc. when you begin a list that you will not complete; it indicates that there are other items in the list besides the ones you explicitly mention. The abbreviation is more common than the full phrase in business and technical writing.
What is short for et cetera?
The abbreviation etc., from the Latin phrase et cetera, meaning and the rest, is the unfortunate subject of mispunctuation, misapplication to people, overuse, etc.
What does et al mean in English?
“Et al.” is short for the Latin term “et alia,” which means “and others.” It is used in academic citations when referring to a source with multiple authors. Example: Using “et al.” Hulme et al.
Is it et cetera or etcetera?
The Latin term et cetera ("and the rest") is usually written as two words in Canadian English. However, the one-word spelling etcetera is also correct. The abbreviation for this term is etc.
