What does INTRO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A short opening section that introduces something, such as a piece of writing, a song or a conversation.
Intro is the everyday, shortened way of saying introduction, used casually for the opening minutes of a song, the first paragraph of an article, or a brief exchange that introduces two people to each other. Musicians often speak of a song's intro as the instrumental section before the vocals begin, while writers and speakers use the word for a short opening statement that sets up what follows. The casual tone of intro fits spoken and informal written contexts better than the fuller word introduction, which suits more formal writing. Editors sometimes ask a writer to trim a long intro so the main content starts sooner.
