adverb

ergo

ER-goh/ˈerɡəʊ/

As a logical result.

The overloaded bag's bottom tears; ergo, its contents fall out.

A compact two-panel cause-and-result sequence: a heavily overloaded paper grocery bag gives way, so its contents fall through the torn bottom.
Etymology

Latin ergo already expressed “therefore” or “in consequence of.” In logic, it introduces the conclusion drawn from preceding premises—the same link between grounds and result conveyed by the modern adverb.
