There are four parts to this term: "supra", "clavicular", "adeno" and "pathy". "Supra" means above or on top of. "Clavicular" means in reference to the clavicle or collarbone. "Adeno" means gland. "Pathy" means disease of.
Putting the terms back together, there is some disease of a gland in the area above your collarbone. My interpretation is that the gland in question is a lymph node, and that it is larger than usual without overt signs of other disease to explain why this lymph node is large. If your doctor isn't worried about it, I wouldn't stress out too much - it could just be a reactive lymph node that is cleaning up after a minor infection or trauma, or a chronic reactive lymph node from when you had an infection down that arm previously.
