That means acceleration towards the center. For example, this happens any time something moves in a circle.

tion is vector quntity
The word centripetal means?
Tending towards the center, according to WordWeb, a dictionary program which compiles definitions from several dictionaries and gives the most accurate (in it's opinion). In terms of physics, i.e. centripetal force, centripetal acceleration, centripetal motion, etc, etc, it refers to the motion of an object in a circular path, or the force which keeps it in such a path. The force is always directed towards the center of the circle as by the definition above.
What is acceration?
acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of a body changes with time.
What keeps an object in centripetal motion?

What is the physics behind the spin cycle in a washing machine?
The clothes have a centripetal force (the walls of the machine provide this) which pushes them towards the center of the tub, not out of it. But the water lacks a centripetal force (it fits through the holes in the walls of the wash tub) to keep it from leaving the path of circular motion, so therefore it follows its path of velocity out!
