And the others returned after the set time (2,2)
I believe the answer is:
et al
'and the others' is the definition.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for et al that I've seen before include "And others (abbrev.)" , "'And others, to the old Romans (2,2)'" , "... and other people (or things) (abbr)" , "And others (abbr)" , "And the rest (Lat. abbr.)" .)
