"Among others, for short" is a straightforward abbreviation clue. The phrase "among others" is often shortened to "et alia" in Latin, which is commonly abbreviated as "et al."—though in crosswords, it’s sometimes written as "ETAL" without the period. The clue hints at this shorthand by asking for the "for short" version of a phrase meaning "and others."
