Detailed explanation-1: -Et al. is an abbreviation for et alia (neuter plural). But it can also be an abbreviation for et alii (masculine plural), or et aliae (feminine plural). This phrase means “and others.” Most commonly, et al. indicates other contributors (authors, editors, etc .)
Detailed explanation-2: -“Et al.” is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase “et alia” which translates to “and others” in the English language. This phrase indicates that the author is paraphrasing a reference list that contains at least two additional names that have not been listed.
Detailed explanation-3: -etc. And so on. This is the one Latin abbreviation most students already know, and the one they tend to. overuse. Nine times out of ten, the phrase can simply be omitted. Note that et already means and, so it is redundant to write, “and etc.” Literally, the Latin phrase means “and other things."
Detailed explanation-4: -From Latin, abbreviation of et alibī (“and other places”) (English: et alibi).
