what is the meaning of "..et. al " which we usually see?

Question

at scientists' discovery, printed in books. For example..
" Raymond.et. al (1952)"..etc. Please explain to me?

Answer 1

Et al. is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase "et alia" (the neuter
plural - it can also be et allii - male - or et aliae - female), which
literally means "and others". It is distinguished from etc. (an
abbreviation for the Latin phrase "et cetera" or "and the rest") in
that et al. usually - but not always - is applied to lists of
specified persons/objects while etc. is usually - but not always -
applied to unspecified persons/objects. For example, in a list of
authors on a book you might see: John Smith, Jane Doe, Edward Jones,
et al. However, in a list of household items you'd see: dish, spoon,
fork, etc.

Here are definitions (with their links) from the Columbia Guide to
Standard English:

et al.
http://www.bartleby.com/68/90/2290.html
"[Et al.] is a Latin tag, an abbreviation of et alii (masculine), et
aliae (feminine), or et alia (neuter), meaning “and [the] others.” The
period after al. is sometimes omitted in English, and the phrase is so
much used that it often is not printed in italics. It is regularly
used in footnotes to save space, and it also occurs in expository
prose, even in some Edited English, despite some conservative
objections."

latin I think for "and others". It means there are more names to the list, but rather than type them all out you simply use this expression to cover it.
