Explanation

Id est is a Latin phrase meaning 'that is' or 'that is to say.' It is commonly abbreviated as 'i.e.' and used to clarify or explain something that has just been stated. It should not be confused with 'e.g.' (exempli gratia - for example), which provides examples rather than clarification.
