SLR & DSLR are acronyms for: Single Lens Reflex and Digital Single Lens Reflex
SLR gave photographers the possibility of seeing exactly what the camera is going to take by bouncing the image off a mirror into the viewfinder. Before the viewfinder was created it was separate from the lens which gave the photographer an approximate of what the camera is capturing however it wasn't very useful. Over time photographers were trying to figure out how to look through the lens to see exactly what the camera is capturing and placed a mirror in between the lens and film/sensor that reflects the image up into a prism and into your viewfinder- quite genius if you ask me. This system is called single lens reflex.
Hope that helps!
