Mho is a now eccentric name for this unit of electrical conductance, equal to 1 Ω-1. It is derived by spelling ohm backwards. Its symbol is (the upside-down letter Ω). The term siemens is used universally in science and primarily in electrical applications, while mho is used primarily in electronic applications.
