What does Aggro mean in video games?

This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
Aggro is a term that comes from the English “Aggravated” or “Aggravation” (escalation). Aggro is used to describe the behavior of artificial intelligence (AI) or enemies in a game. Aggro indicates the ability to attract or draw the enemy's attention to oneself.
Basically, aggro is used in role-playing video games (RPG, MMO RPG) and indicates how enemies or AI react to the player's presence. If a player is "aggro," it means that enemies or AI become interested in them and attack the player. Aggro can be triggered by various factors, such as the player approaching an enemy, attacking an enemy, noise, or any actions that attract the attention of enemies.
The term "aggro" can also be used to describe a player's playstyle when they actively try to attract the attention of enemies, take on attacks, and aim to draw maximum attention from enemies, distracting them from other team members or weaker allies.
The term "aggro" can also be used in other genres of video games or in general gamer slang to describe a situation where a player attracts or holds the attention of enemies or hostile entities.
