Etcetera
Et cetera (English: , Latin: [ɛt ˈkeːtɛra]), abbreviated to etc. or et cet., is a Latin expression that is used in English to mean "and all the rest". The ampersand "&" is a ligature of "et", thus it can also be abbreviated &c. . Translated literally from Latin, et can mean 'and', while cētĕra can mean 'the rest'; thus, the expression translates to 'and the rest'.
Et cetera is a calque (loanword/phrase) of the Koine Greek καὶ τὰ ἕτερα (kai ta hetera) meaning 'and the other things'. The typical Modern Greek form is και τα λοιπά (kai ta loipá) 'and the remainder'.
