Etymology
From Template:Inh, Template:M, from Template:Der, an abbreviation of Template:M.
Pronunciation
- /ˌɛt ˈsɛt(ə)ɹə/ (See Usage below)
Phrase
- And so on: used to note that the rest of a list or piece of information has been left out on the assumption that it is similar or already known.
- The grocery sells cucumbers, lettuce, radishes, etc.
- The plagiarism was painfully obvious: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," etc.
Usage notes
- "Etc." is typically read out as the full Latin phrase Template:L rather than as letters (as with "i.e.") or as a contraction (as with "et seq."). It is, however, sometimes read out as its English calque Template:L (as with "e.g.").
- In Latin, Template:M refers solely to other things. It is therefore properly avoided in lists of people, where "et al." (that is, Template:M) is used instead. "Et al." is thus sometimes sharply distinguished from "etc." in English, although the same abbreviation also can stand for the Latin Template:M, which is a synonym of "etc."
- Because "etc." effectively makes a list exhaustive, it is properly avoided when using other abbreviations (such as "e.g." and "viz.") that offer partial examples. If the "etc." is desired, "i.e." may be used in their place.
- Some speakers use a Template:IPAchar sound in place of the Template:IPAchar in the first word. This is usually proscribed and somewhat stigmatized. It is represented in eye dialect as "excetera", "exetera", or "ekcetera".
