These People Were “Today Years Old” When They Learned These Surprising Facts

Etcetera

Some of us use the ampersand on a daily basis, but most of us probably have no idea where this symbol came from. As Twitter user Sarah Pappalardo reveals, the ampersand is a ligature for the Latin word “et,” which translates to English as “and.” You must be familiar with the word from the common phrase, “Et Tu, Brute?” which translates to “And you, Brutus?”

The word “et” can also be found in “et cetera” – another phrase many of us use on a regular basis, a Latin phrase that means “and others.” Latin is sometimes considered a dying language, but luckily, some Latin words were reserved in our language to this day.
