It means that light changes its direction when it passes from one medium to another - for example, from air to water.
To refract means to change the direction of light as it passes through a different medium, such as air to glass, causing the light waves to bend. This bending of light is due to the change in speed of light as it travels through the different medium. Refraction is often seen when looking at objects through water or a lens.
