Therefore; for that reason. Used to show that something logically follows from what was just said.
From Latin 'ergo' meaning 'therefore' or 'hence.' The word comes from a combination of the prefix 'er-' (meaning 'out') and 'ago' (meaning 'to drive'), literally meaning 'to drive out' or 'to bring forward as a conclusion.' It entered English through logical and philosophical texts during the Medieval period.
