THACO stand for To Hit Armour Class 0 (zero). It is essentially a rating if how likely you are to hit your target.

In pen and paper D&D, a player rolls a 20-sided die (D20) to see if he/she hit the target. Unfortunately, I can't quite recall the exact formula, but I do know that the lower your THACO, the better!
