USAGEA
common mispronunciation of et cetera involves replacing the t in et with a k. This follows a process known as assimilation by which sounds become made more like those that follow them - that is, they become more easy for the speaker to articulate.
词源
Latin, from et 'and' and cetera 'the rest' (neuter plural of ceterus 'left over').
