This amendment resulted from way back in America's colonial times. After the French and Indian war(Seven Years War) in the 1700s, the British government had begun to send troops to enforce their several Acts( i.e: Stamp Act, Tea Act, Townshend Act) upon the colonists. To ensure they were properly cared for, the British Government required that all colonists provide the British troops with provisions and shelter;however, this did not mean that the colonists had to let them sleep in their home as long as the provided shelter was liveable. However, the most colonists weren't people who just had extra buildings to spare and the result of that would be the troops having to live in their homes. As you can agree, most colonists were not happy about "babysitting" troops and that is why shortly after the American Revolution had come and passed, The Constitution was written including a section that says Its people are not required to quarter troops in their homes.
The term for housing troops is called quartering or billeting. The quartering of troops in private residences is expressly forbidden in the US Constitution.
It means to house troops.

The Third Amendment of the Constitution forbids the quartering of troops. This means, troops can't be forcibly housed in private homes without the owner's permission. This amendment was created due to the British forcibly housing soldiers in private homes during the Revolutionary War.
