In Elizabethan English which is a form of Modern English, exactly the same language I am writing in now, ado means and meant "talk, palaver, busy activity, fuss and bother." It comes from "to do", with "to" abbreviated to "a" as it frequently was in this dialect. In modern usage, you most often see it in a sentence like "Without more ado she went down to the mall and bought herself a bathing suit."
