Best Answer

as an image or animation used to prevent desktop images from burning into the monitor.

Back when CRT monitors were still used, any image left on the screen for an extended period of time would 'burn' into the monitor, and when you changed the image you could still see outlines of the image that was burned. Screen savers were designed to prevent that and literally save the screen.
