How do you spell etc?

Question

Is it one of those abbreviations that doesn't extend? I've always wanted to know.

Answer 1

It is et cetera, which is Latin for "and so on and so forth." Just remember that it's two words, because you'll look uneducated if you spell it as one like some of the people above. :)

Answer 2

Et cetera ~ literally "and the rest". Latin adjectives can be masculine, feminine or neuter: in the singular, this gives ceterus, --a, --um; but the word was nearly always used in the plural: ceteri, --ae, --a, so the final "a" in cetera marks the word as neuter plural (although the feminine singular is the same).

Answer 3

Okay, I am sure that a gazillion people have already answered t his question but I still want to answer it becaues I just learned how to spell "etc.". I had always thought that was just how you spell it but then I was reading the other day (yesterday, actually) and I saw it spelled:

et cetera

There you have it.

Answer 4
