Ampersand
The ampersand, also known as the and sign, is the logogram , representing the grammatical conjunction, conjunction "and". It originated as a typographic ligature, ligature of the letters of the word (Latin for "and"). Etymology Traditionally in English, when spelling aloud, any letter that could also be used as a word in itself ("A", "I", and "Vocative case#English, O") was referred to by the Latin expression ('by itself'), as in "''per se'' A" or "A ''per se'' A". The character &, when used by itself as opposed to more extended forms such as ''&c.'', was similarly referred to as "and ''per se'' and".
