English

Etymology

From Latin et alii (“and others”).

Phrase

et alii

1. And others; used of males, or groups of mixed gender; masculine plural

Usage notes

• In some academic contexts, it may be appropriate to use the specific Latin form that would be used in Latin text, selecting the appropriate grammatical case. The abbreviation "et al." finesses the need for such fastidiousness.
