et alii (et al.) "and others" Used similarly to et cetera ("and the rest"), to stand for a list of names. Alii is actually masculine, so it can be used for men, or groups of men and women; the feminine, et aliae, is appropriate when the "others" are all female, and the neuter, et alia ("and other things"), is also common. APA style suggests that et alii may be used if the work cited was written by more than six authors; MLA style suggests that only three are necessary.

"and others"
it usually comes at the end of a list, meaning that there are others who could be listed but were left off to save space.

It means there are more authors than just that first author. It refers to more people.
