Morphology

et + aliae

The phrase is fully compositional: 'et' means 'and' and 'aliae' means 'others' (feminine plural), so the overall meaning 'and others' is directly derivable from the constituents. Although the words are Latin and include a grammatical gender/number marking, that morphological detail does not obscure the basic, cross-linguistically common meaning, so a learner who knows the parts would understand it.

Etymology

Et aliae comes from the Latin words et meaning 'and' and aliae meaning 'others'. Scholars used this short form to write one name plus 'and others' in lists of authors, so today et aliae still means 'and others' when you list people.
