et ceteran.

/ɛt ˈsɛtərə/

Forms: Also et cætera; often abbreviated as etc., &c.; also etcetera.

Etymology: < Latin et cētera (et and + cētera, often written cætera, the rest, neuter plural of *cēterus the other).

1. As phrase: And the rest, and so forth, and so on (cf. Greek καὶ τὰ λοιπά, German und so weiter), indicating that the statement refers not only to the things enumerated, but to others which may be inferred from analogy. Occasionally used when the conclusion of a quotation, a current formula of politeness, or the like, is omitted as being well known to the reader. Also Yours etc., used as an ending in letters. A custom formerly common, but now nearly disused except in certain government offices, is to write ‘&c., &c.’ in the addresses of letters, as a substitute for the titles of office or dignity affixed to the name of the person addressed.
