Etymology

Tho is an informal spelling of though, used a lot in texting and online to mean 'however' or 'nevertheless'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of it as a quick, shortened form of though, where letters are dropped to type faster, and it still shows the 'opposite idea' or contrast in a sentence.
