Et cetera
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Et cetera means "and the rest" in Latin. It is often used in English to continue a list that is longer than what can be normally written. People most often write "et cetera" as etc. Very rarely, it is also written "&c" because "&" is the same as "et". It is also the symbol for "and". Some people write it as "ect", this is wrong.
For example, "Jane has a lot of pets. She has cats, dogs, cows, horses, kangaroos, rabbits, etc."
