Etymology: L exempli gratia

for the sake of example; for example

e.g. Law Definition

abbr

From the Latin term exempli gratia, meaning for example.

e.g. (exempli gratia) Telecom Definition

Translates from Latin as for example, or literally as example by favor. Note: It strikes me as odd that those Latins seem to have a different word for just about everything. <grin> However, they come in handy when you want to explain the difference between two things, which would be hard if they had the same name. <big grin> See also emotag.
