etcetera is found in ~500 years old books, and et cetera itself comes from et caetera, from the Greek καὶ τὰ ἕτερα. Which one should we use then? Should we only use the Latin from 1 BCE/CE or the vulgar Latin that evolved after? :-)

Maybe I do not feel it like a big issue, since many Latin languages use it a single word (such as Italian with eccetera, Spanish, Portuguese), due to the evolution of the language.

I guess even ~500 year old books can be wrong :-)

I'm just joking. This is just a pet peeve of mine. Thank you for the fun lesson in etymology.
