the symbol & used in writing to signify the word 'and'

What is the "ampersand"?

The ampersand (&) is a symbol that represents the word "and." It is commonly used in writing to shorten phrases, especially in informal or commercial contexts. The symbol originated from a combination of the Latin word "et," meaning "and," and has evolved into its current form. While often seen in logos, company names, and casual writing, the ampersand is less common in formal writing. It provides a simple, visually distinct way to connect ideas or items, making it a practical tool in certain types of written communication.
