Backlighting is light coming from behind the subject. For example, a person inside a room standing in front of a window during the daytime. The strong daylight coming through the window is greater than the light falling on the person from the camera side. If the exposure is set for the amount of light coming through the window the person will be a silhouette. If the exposure is set for the person the window area will be greatly overexposed (called "blown out") and will likely bleed into the subject around the edges.
