And others belonging to cricket clubs, and so on (3)
I believe the answer is:
etc
'and so on' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'and others belonging to cricket clubs' is the wordplay.
'ETC' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for etc that I've seen before include "Etcetera (abbrev.)" , "And so on, briefly" , "And so on, in brief" , "'And the rest, in short (3)'" , "And so forth (abbr)" .)
