  1. (music) Abbreviation of introdução; intro

Etymology

Abbreviated from introduction, from Latin intrōductiō ‎(“lead-in, introduction”) – the abbreviation removes the second part of the compound, which comes ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁énteros ‎(“inner, what is inside”). The demoscene sense comes from the fact that they were originally prepended to pirated copies of computer games.
