An Arahant (or Arahat as it is more commonly known) is someone who has become enlightened, but through the help of someone else, i.e. they could not achieve enlightenment on their own.
For example, after the Buddha first became enlightened, he taught the five ascetics that followed him about how he himself had become enlightened, and after hearing these teachings, the ascetics in turn became enlightened, but they had not done so through their own meditation etc.
