况且 (kuàngqiě) is a conjunction commonly used in Chinese conversation to indicate that the following information is in addition to what has already been mentioned. It can be translated as "moreover," "furthermore," or "besides."

For example: 已经很晚了，况且天气也不好，我们最好明天再出发。(Yǐjīng hěn wǎn le, kuàngqiě tiānqì yě bù hǎo, wǒmen zuìhǎo míngtiān zài chūfā.) - It's already very late, and besides, the weather is not good. It's best to leave tomorrow.
