It stands for 'Winter'. It is designed to stop wheel spin and aid traction when pulling away on snow or ice (or mud). It does this by pulling away in 2nd gear instead of 1st and changing gear earlier (at lower revs).

PI * W * (2 * D - L) * (L - D) Sometimes 3 is used instead of PI, and may actually be closer due to mechanical efficiency. Formula is the same for CID as it is for cm3 (CC's), just a matter if you use inches or centimeters for L, D and W. W = Height of gear (how thick the gear is). D = Diameter of gear. L = Length from edge of one gear to the edge of the other across both gears.

It has to do with the transmission mission. The 'S' stands for standard, and the 'W' stands for winter. When you are in 'S' mode, the transmission starts out in 1st gear normally, but when you select 'W' mode, the transmission will start out in 2nd gear, to help reduce wheel slip on slippery surfaces.
