This depends on the usage of the word. Usually, it refers to either one of two things. 1) taking a short segment of a sound or song such as a single drum beat or a short piano riff and saving it as a new audio file. This is usually used in "mashups" and sound collages or as triggers in live performances. 2) the frequency at which data is taken to describe a sound wave. You can think of this as plotting X and Y coordinates on a graph to describe a sound wave which a computer can translate into speaker movement and finally sound. The higher the sample rate, the higher quality the audio.
