Catchall phrase is a term used to describe a phrase that can be used to refer to a variety of different things. The term is often used in informal conversations and can be used to refer to anything that is not specified. Etcetera (8 letters), etalia (6 letters), etal (4 letters), and etalii (6 letters) are all variations of the catchall phrase. Etcetera is the most commonly used form, while etalia and etalii are more formal versions. Etal is the least common variation and is usually used in very specific contexts. All of these variations are used to refer to a variety of different things without having to specify what those things are.
