👉 Alternative form of etc.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a peek, At this little symbol, quite unique! “Etc.” – it’s short for “et cetera,” you see, A handy way to write efficiently! "Et," is Latin, meaning "and," it's true, Then "cetera" follows, for me and for you. It simply means “and so on,” if you understand, Listing items – a simple command! Think of it like this: you’re naming things one by one, But then you realize there’s more, beneath the sun! Instead of writing out each single name with grace, “Etc.” will do just fine in its rightful place. So “etc.” means "and other similar things," A shortcut clever, like a joyful sings! Does that make sense? Any questions to share?
