"Waxing" means that each day, more of the Sun illuminated area of the Moon is visible. "Waning" means that each day, less of the Sun illuminated area of the Moon is visible.
The gibbous phases of the Moon occur when the visible face of the Moon is more than half illuminated, but not fully illuminated.
The context clue for the word "illuminated" could be a description of something being brightly lit up or made more visible by light.
Exactly 50% of the moon is illuminated at any moment. As the moon revolves around the earth and its position changes, the fraction of that illuminated 50% that's visible to us on earth changes.
Only the half of the moon that is illuminated by sunlight will be visible; the other half is dark. Because the relative positions of the Earth, moon, and sun are always changing, the viewer on Earth will see varying amounts of the illuminated half of the moon.
A moon that is reducing in the size, of the illuminated surface visible to earth, day by day.
