& (the ampersand) is a ligature for ‘et’, latin for ‘and’. Although archaic you can use ‘&c’ the same as ‘etc’ as a shortened ‘Et cetera’. & (the ampersand) being a ligature for ‘et’, I am curious to whether there are any historical examples of ligatures being designed for ‘etc’.

I created this as an example of what a ligature for ‘etc’ could look like. Join the conversation, http://typophile.com/node/75008
