luego

/ˈlweɡo/ · A1 · conj

then

From Latin loco, in (that) place: on the spot, so right after, then

Latin loco (ablative of locus, place) meant on the spot, at once. Spanish stretched it from immediately to afterward and later, as in hasta luego. The logical sense follows the same path: one thing comes after another, therefore.
