About および

(およ) is a word that functions as a conjunction meaning 'and' or 'as well as', but is originally the conjunctive form of (およ)ぶ, an う-Verb meaning 'to reach (A)', or 'to extend to (A)'. Although it is frequently translated simply as 'and', (およ) is a grammar pattern that more literally reflects the meaning of the base verb 'to extend to (A)'.

Being a conjunction, (およ) will primarily appear at the beginning of a second clause of a sentence, or directly following a noun that something else is 'in addition to'.

As (およ) is considered a formal structure, it will primarily appear in documents, articles, and notifications.
