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
ISO/IEC 14882:1998(E) shows:

1.3 Definitions [intro.defs]

My copy of INCITS/ISO/IEC/14882-2003 (PDF, from webstore.ansi.org)
shows that one too: "1.3 Terms et definitions" :-)

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).
