The ampersand symbol (&) originated as a ligature of the letters 'e' and 't' in Latin, forming the Latin word 'et,' meaning 'and.' Over time, the symbol evolved into its current form – the ampersand – through various cursive writing styles. Today, the ampersand is commonly used to represent the word 'and' in a more stylized and compact way.
