of ). The phrase ''et cetera'' is often used to denote the logical continuation of some sort of series of descriptions. For example, in the following expression: ''We will need a lot of bread: wheat, granary, wholemeal, etc. on our menu. '' In this case of a use at the end of a list without conjunction, a comma is typically written in front of the phrase (but see:

Similar Latin expressions

* In lists of people, ''et alii'' (abbreviated as ''et al.'', meaning "and others") is used in place of ''etc.'' * In lists of places, ''et alibi'' may be used, which is also abbreviated ''et al.''; ''et alibi'' means "and elsewhere". * In references to literature or texts in general, ''et sequentes (versus)'' or ''et sequentia'' 'and the words etc. following' (abbreviated ''et seq.'', plural ''et seqq.'') are used to indicate that only the first portion of a known reference is given explicitly, with broad reference to the following passages which logically follow in sequence to the explicit reference.

s and legislative documents make heavy use of ''et seq.'' Notice that there is a functional difference between ''et seq.'' and ''etc.'' Et seq. and its variations refer specifically to known text; etc. may do so too, but is more likely to leave the reader to supply the unspecified items for himself. It would not be helpful to say: "Various paragraphs of import similar to those in Title VII, Sections 4, 7, and 2 ''et seq.''" though it might make sense to use ''etc.'' in such a context.
