In almost all modern languages of the peoples of the world, the so-called Latinisms are used to define some universal concepts, which are abbreviations of standard and most common terms. One such is the abbreviation etc. Decoding it is quite simple, however, since we are talking about computer technology, we will consider it from this point of view. As examples, we use Windows operating systems.
Acronym etc .: decryption in English in a general sense
As many sources say, Latinism etc., inherited from the "old Roman", is derived from the phrase et cetera, which in the general sense means "and so on."

Here in a nutshell, and everything related to the generally accepted abbreviation etc. Deciphering it, as we see, is quite simple. But this applies only to the commonly used concept. In the field of computer technology, such an interpretation is practically not used, since at the system level, a slightly different meaning is invested in it. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly distinguish between the common sense and understanding of this Latinism in relation to IT-technologies.
