📚 Etymology
The verb *largar* comes from a Latin word meaning 'to set free' or 'to cast off.' When used reflexively as *largarse* (meaning 'to release oneself'), it evolved into the meaning 'to leave' or 'to bolt.' *Lárgate* is simply the command form of that verb.
First recorded: Medieval Spanish (The root verb *largar* is very old)

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'lárgate' the same as 'vete'?
They both mean 'go away,' but 'lárgate' is much stronger and ruder than 'vete' (which comes from the verb 'ir'). Think of 'vete' as 'go' and 'lárgate' as 'get lost' or 'scram.' Use 'vete' if you want to be less aggressive.
Why does 'lárgate' have an accent mark?
The accent mark is there to tell you exactly where to put the stress when you say the word. Without the accent, the stress would naturally fall on the second-to-last syllable (*lar-GA-te*), but the command form requires the stress to stay on the first syllable (*LÁR-ga-te*).
