It's not French. It's for those who ask "where are the definitions?"
The terms et them.

Seriously, exactly which document are you looking at? My copy of

The title of the section 1.3 [intro.defs] is "Terms et definitions".

"et"? What is French doing here?

The French are doing absolutely nothing here -- not French, but Latin.

et = and, as in etc. (et cetera: and + the rest), et al. (et alii: and +
others).
