Working from phrases such as:

Inde ira et lacrimae.
  Hence wrath and tears.

Grammatici certant, et adhuc sub iudice lis est. 
  The scholars quarrel, and the case lies still undecided in the hands of
the judge.

Arte et Marte.
  With peaceful effort and warlike feats.

Divide et impera.
  Divide and rule.


I would have thought that latin for "and" is "et".
