It refers to an increase in frequency (and decrease in wavelength) of light or other electromagnetic waves, if the object that emits the waves is moving towards us. The opposite is REDSHIFT, which happens when the object moves away from us.

What is a piece of clothing called a shift?
The term chemise or shift can refer to the classic smock, or else can refer to certain modern types of women's undergarments and dresses. In the classical usage it is a simple garment worn next to the skin to protect clothing from sweat and body oils, the precursor to the modern shirts commonly worn in Western nations. In modern usage the term chemise generally refers to women's fashions that vaguely resemble the older shifts but are typically more delicate, and usually provocative. Most commonly the term refers to a loose-fitting, sleeveless, shirt-like undergarment or piece of lingerie. It can also refer to a short, sleeveless dress that hangs straight from the shoulders and fits loosely at the waist.

Can there be purple shift aswell as blue shift and red shift?
Redshift and blueshift refer to a change in frequency of light we receive from distant objects (stars, galaxies, etc.) The light can turn different colors, and purple is one of them. However, no matter what the color the light changes to, the technical term is always "redshift" if the frequency of the light decreases (normally indicating that the object is moving away from us), and "blueshift" if it increases (normally indicating that the object is moving towards us). Blue shift and purple shift would mean the same thing because the spectrum is one-dimensional. It's like if you are in Boston, a shift towards Chicago is the same as a shift towards San Francisco. Obviously, a purple shift is a super blue shift.
