The instruction Loco tells the musician to:

Explanation:
Octave transpositions are indicated to shift how a passage sounds relative to the written notes. An 8va instruction tells you to sound one octave higher (or lower, if 8vb). Loco cancels that effect, bringing you back to the notes exactly as they appear written on the page. So the instruction means play in the octave written, without the previous octave shift. This keeps you aligned with the composer’s written pitch.
