It is the compression or compromise of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist area. The anatomical name of the wrist is called the carpal tunnel...if you have symptoms of numbness and tingling of the first 2 or 3 fingers (usually worse at night) and some wrist hand pain then you might have the "syndrome", hence the name carpal tunnel syndrome or CTS
