et cetera :
It dates from 1418, from Latin., literally meaning “and the others,” from et “and” + neut. of ceteri “the others.”
The abbreviation is etc. It is a NOUN that means “And other unspecified things of the same class; and so forth.”
The quote that sticks in my mind from The King and I is when Yul Brenner (the king) uses et cetera with such enthusiasm:
King: When I sit, you sit. When I kneel, you kneel. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!
