From the Spanish word 'largo' (long, or a command to depart). This is the classic 'let's bounce' for sailors and seafarers. Think of an OFW seaman's ship about to maglargo for a 9-month contract. In a less literal sense, it can mean to just go ahead or proceed with something, like a project manager saying, 'O sige, maglargo na kayo sa next phase.'
