語源

発音

• IPA^(key): /ˌɛt ˈsɛt(ə)ɹə/, /ˌɛkˈsɛt(ə)ɹə/ (See Usage below)

成句

etc.

1. And so on: used to note that the rest of a list or piece of information has been left out on the assumption that it is similar or already known.

   The grocery sells cucumbers, lettuce, radishes, etc.

   The plagiarism was painfully obvious: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," etc.

使用する際の注意点

• "Etc." is typically read out as the full Latin phrase et cetera rather than as letters (as with "i.e.") or as a contraction (as with "et seq."). It is, however, sometimes read out as its English calque and so on (as with "e.g.").
• In Latin, et cetera refers solely to other things. It is therefore properly avoided in lists of people, where "et al." (that is, et alii) is used instead. "Et al." is thus sometimes sharply distinguished from "etc." in English, although the same abbreviation can also stand for the Latin et alia, which is a synonym of "etc."
• Because "etc." effectively makes a list exhaustive, it is properly avoided when using other abbreviations (such as "e.g." かつ "viz.") that offer partial examples. If the "etc." is desired, "i.e." may be used in their place.
• Some speakers use a /k/ sound in place of the /t/ in the first word. This is usually proscribed and somewhat stigmatized. It is represented in eye dialect as "excetera", "exetera", or "ekcetera".
