inter alia

Inter alia is a Latin phrase that means "among other things." So your grocery list may include bread, milk, and cereal, inter alia.

There are many Latin phrases that are used in everyday English; some of the more common ones include persona non grata, ad nauseam and et cetera. The phrase inter alia, on the other hand, doesn't get too much attention. It's most often used in the extracts of formal meeting minutes to note that the piece quoted is part of a larger chunk of information.
