Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: English and per se and.

Etymology: Representing a regional or colloquial pronunciation of and per se and, lit. ‘and (i.e. & ) by itself (makes the word) and ’ ( < and conj.¹ + per se n.³ + and conj.¹; compare and per se at per se n.³ 2). Compare A per se a at A per se n., I per se I at I n.¹ 1a, O per se o (compare quot. 1612 at O n.¹ 1a).The symbol & originated as a ligature of the letters of the classical Latin conjunction et ‘and’. It is specified as per se ‘by itself’ to distinguish it from the combination &c. et cetera, lit. ‘and others’ (see et cetera n. and the abbreviations listed at that entry). Compare also the following discussions of the ampersand, in which the first element is also given in the Latin form:1791 J. Walker Crit. Pronouncing Dict. 2 To these may be added certain combinations of letters universally used.., and &, or and per se and, or rather et per se [1794 et per se and].1853 Notes & Queries 1st Ser. 8 524 It was customary to print the two following symbols with their explanations: &c. et cetera. & (per se), and. Children were taught to read the above ‘et-cee, et cetera’ and ‘et-per-se, and.’ Such, at least, was the case in a Dublin school, some ninety years ago, where my informant, now many years deceased, was educated. Specific forms. The β. forms and some of the γ. forms could alternatively be interpreted as a regional or colloquial pronunciation of et per se and (compare quot. 1791 above); this phrase is apparently also reflected in the Shropshire forms expassy on (1879) and expassy and (1904). In β. forms perhaps also with reinterpretation of the first syllables as being < classical Latin ipse itself (see ipse pron.). In the form amperzed perhaps after zed n.

The symbol &, read in English as ‘and’.
