et-al (meaning and others - Latin derived just to save @abs)
Edit: guess etc (Et cetera) is pushing it a bit

It's not Latin derived. It's Latin. There's a difference. |

'Etc' is indeed pushing it as it is an abbreviation and is a single word in its full form.

The name Sony comes from 'sunny-boy', which was an often used phrase in the us at the time when the co was founded. Morita Akio, the grounder of sony wrote it in his book 'Made in Japan'. A very interesting book, read it years ago, maybe u can get it in second hand book stores.
