# etc.
## English
### Alternative forms

* etc
* ec.
* &c., &c, &ca., &ca (dated)

### Etymology

From Middle English et cetera, etc., from Latin etc., an abbreviation of et cetera (“and the rest [of the things]; and the other things”).

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /ˌɛt ˈsɛt(ə)ɹə/, /ɪt ˈsɛt(ə)ɹə/
** Audio (US):(file)

### Phrase

etc.
* 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.
    Synonym: asf
    The grocery shop 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 et cetera 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 version and so on (as with "e.g.").
* In Latin, et cetera refers solely to other things. It is therefore properly avoided in lists of people, where "et al." (that is, et alii) is used instead. "Et al." is thus sometimes sharply distinguished from "etc." in English, although the same abbreviation can also stand for the Latin et alia, 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 places.
* Some speakers use a /k/ sound in place of the /t/ in the first word. This is usually proscribed and somewhat stigmatized. It is represented in eye dialect as "excetera", "exetera", or "ekcetera".

* and so forth
* and so on

* blah blah blah
* et al. (sometimes distinguished: see the usage notes)
