ampersand

An ampersand is the symbol &, which was designed by German typesetter Manfred Johann Amper in 1634 as an abbreviation for the German word "und", which means "and" in English; hence the symbol was first known as "Amper's 'and' ", which was eventually syncopated into "ampersand", the term by which we know it today.
On a standard US keyboard the ampersand is on the same key as the numeral 7.

Ampersand

noun: the sign "&" (standing for the word 'and', as in "U & I")

“&” was actually part of the English alphabet. In the early 1800s, school children reciting their ABCs concluded the alphabet with the "&" coming after the letter 'Z'..........the alphabet was originally 27 characters long because '&' was an actual letter member.
But then Grammar Nazis decided "&" was not worthy of being in the alphabet, so they took it out (the same illogical mindset that decided Pluto was not a planet, but only a large asteroid.)
Ampersand, like Pluto were robbed of their identity!
