"AND" - It is a conjunction playing the role in grammatical construction of connecting words or phrases expressing the idea that the latter is to be added to or taken along with the first.

co-ordinate as where the elements preceding and succeeding the use of the words refer to the same subject matter. See Black\'s Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, at page 86"- Per Onnoghen JSC
