Et al means "and others." In crossword puzzles, et al. indicates that the answer will be a plural. It tells you to write the group that includes all of the things listed. So bananas, apples, Oranges, et al. might have the answer "fruit" or "fruits." If the clues were FDR, JFK, et al, you might say "dems."
