ello = Latin illud (that thing): el is he, ella is she, ello is it
From Latin illud, the neuter of ille (that). Spanish kept three forms: él (he), ella (she), ello (it). Ello never points at an object, only at an idea or situation already mentioned, as in por ello = because of it. Freud's id is el ello.
