Turbo
High-performance engine type
Turbo refers to a turbine-driven device that increases an engine's power by forcing more air into combustion—short for turbocharger or turbocharged.
The meaning extends to anything faster or more powerful than standard: turbo mode, turbo boost.
As an adjective or prefix, turbo signals enhanced speed or intensity: a turbo espresso, turbocharged growth.
In casual speech, turbo describes doing something rapidly: I turboed through my homework.
