Adding "Private" to path name

Just "getting my feet wet" so to to speak in the Unix world. I have a couple of basic questions:

1). I am logged in as "root" and have verified that I am at the top of the directory "/". I do a cd to the "etc" sub-directory and verify that I am there only to discover that "private" is appended to the front of the path (private/etc). What does the "private" mean?

2) I can get a list of the sub-directories and files from my current directory by using the command "ls -R". Can I get a list of only the sub-directories, excluding the files?

The Mac OSX Server software uses BSD Unix with the C-Shell.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
