I've often seen the word "ctor" used in class constructors. What does it mean?

In class-based object-oriented programming, a constructor (abbreviation: ctor) is a special type of subroutine called to create an object. It prepares the new object for use, often accepting arguments that the constructor uses to set required member variables.
A constructor in Java is a special method that is used to initialize objects. The constructor is called when an object of a class is created.
Ctor passes the "member init" function the parent prototype, so it can easily call methods on it when extending a parent method. This provides super -like functionality simply and without undue magic.
A constructor of a class is a special method that gets called when a class is instantiated using the NEW function. A constructor for a class has the same name as the class name. Unlike ordinary methods, a constructor definition is identified by the CONSTRUCTOR statement.
Yes, It does stand for ConstrucTOR.
Btw, it is used as a shortcut for writing the default constructor in Visual C#.
Try, [ctor + press tab twice] = default constructor.

That is a short name of ConstrucTOR
