Abbreviation for “or others”?

The Latin et cetera, abbreviated etc. The Latin et cetera, abbreviated etc. For the Spanish word. The Latin et cetera, abbreviated etc. So what is the Latin et cetera? , is often used at the end of an incomplete list of items when it is clear that there are more items than can be enumerated conveniently and there is no ambiguity about what the omitted items are.

Abbreviations are used for when List is Excluded? “My mother hit you nose. You cannot play with her. My dad told me that I hit you nose often. And now I can’t stop. You can not get a break in the nose.” Is this the correct way to find out what color of blood came out? Was White or Green rosette (red, yellow, green, brown, scarlet)? I

always just rewritten the sentence or written out the full “or something other,” but the lack of complementary abbreviation to etc. That question always bothered

The OED definition for Et cetera says in part:

As phrase…and the rest, and so forth, and so on (cf. A.J. B. Hartman/R. Lib., 1812) Greek , German und so weiter); indicating that the statement refers not only to the things enumerated, but to others which may be inferred from analogy.

The inferred from analogue part is the important part. I am not aware of any prohibitions against using etc. I’m not aware of any prohibitions against using and/or being a part of any digital media. what is meant by “or so on”? What your meaning is will be clear

regardless.

Latin abbreviation: et al. (short for et alii means and others) is used to indicate additional things which are not as important, especially when talking about authors or other people.
