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.
