I.e is an abreviation for id est which in Latin means that is typically means that is such as or in other words

Other common Latin abreviations are:

e.g. Exempli Gratia which means free example used to mean for example

etc. (sometimes \c) Et Cettera which means and the rest but is used to mean and so on

et al Et Alii And others. Used when a list of people is longer than you wish to list. When a book has many authors it is common to write the first one followed by et al to indicate one of many.
