Used to introduce a statement that contrasts with something that has just been said, but which does not make the previous statement less true or valid. It functions as a conjunctive adverb, often indicating a concession or a surprising outcome despite a preceding factor. It is similar in meaning to nonetheless or however, but often carries a slightly more emphatic or formal tone.
