An informal exclamation meaning 'okay,' 'alright,' or 'I agree,' often used to show enthusiasm or confirmation.
From 'right' plus the suffix '-o,' a common Australian and British informal addition to words for emphasis. Became widespread in the early 1900s as a cheerful agreement.
The '-o' suffix is super productive in Australian slang—'righto,' 'ta,' 'servo'—it makes everything sound more friendly and energetic, which is why Australians are always perceived as upbeat!
