ampersand

n. character or symbol for the written word "and" (&)

For the magazine, see Ampersand magazine. An ampersand (&), also commonly called an "and sign" is a logogram representing the conjunction "and." The symbol is a ligature of the letters in et, Latin for "and." Its origin is apparent in the second example in the image to the left below; the first example, now more common, is a later development.
