inter alia

adverbC2Not compared — the two pools are counted one word at a time, so a phrase has no score

Inter alia means among other things. The report says, inter alia, that nobody checked.

It is Latin and belongs to legal writing, where it signals that a list is not complete. Using inter alia in ordinary prose is showing off, and among other things does the same work.
