Icelandic

Etymology

Likely influenced by ending of loanwords such as e.g. limbó, lottó, lúdó, póló (all names of games), as well as shortened words such as bíó (from Danish bio, a clipping of biograf), which already had -ó- (-o-) in them before being shortened. Perhaps derived from English -o. This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. Needs more on different semantic categories and parts of speech, e.g. proper names and adjectives; a timeline of developments would also be nice
