Kosher means 'fit or proper'.

Kosher food refers to food that has been prepared following the laws of kashrut. The basis for the laws of kashrut is the Torah which provides the general outlines of what is and isn't fit by Jews.

The goal of these guidelines, as is the goal of all the guidelines found in the Torah, is to provide Jews a guide to living a righteous and good life. These guidelines apply only to Jews though as there are different paths for different people.
