e.g. which people meant to be 'example given' is actually a Latin abbreviation for the word "exempli gratia", which means most closely to "good examples", in English equivalent would be "for example".

When you mean “for example,” use e.g. It is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase exempli gratia. When you mean “that is,” use “i.e.” It is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase id est. Either can be used to clarify a preceding statement, the first by example, the second by restating the idea more clearly or expanding upon it. Because these uses are so similar, the two abbreviations are easily confused.
