A misspelling of etcetera, commonly abbreviated “etc.” which is Latin (“et cetera”) for “and others.”

If you want to be a douchey nerd you can pronounce it like it would’ve been in Ancient Rome, with a “k” sound for the c. It’s fun.

Ooh that’s a word I hadn’t considered doing that too. It’s fun using classical latin pronunciations with people you want to annoy

Well shit, I’ve been using it for 3-4 years now and only now someone points out I’m writing it incorrectly?

Some weird people pronounce it as “exetera”.
