It means to find the generic expression for any term, not just for one specific term.

For example, in the sequence 1, 4, 9, 16, 25... it should be clear that these are square numbers, which you can write as 12, 22, 32, etc. The nth. term is n2, meaning that for any number "n", term number n is n2.
