Origin: English loanword

Usage Note

And is the English word, appearing in Italian only inside borrowed names and brands (e.g. rock and roll, fish and chips). The native Italian conjunction is e, which becomes ed before a word starting with a vowel. Treat and purely as a foreign element, not standard Italian.
