To "burn" a CD is to imprint information on it, creating a new, useful CD from a formerly blank one. The information could be newly created on the computer and "saved" to the CD through "burning." Typically, "copy" means to duplicate information from one CD onto another through the "burning" process. Both terms are used fairly loosely.
The term "burning" is derived from the concept that a laser creates microscopic imperfections in a layer of the CD below the top protective film, a process similar to burning with a torch, though on an incredibly small scale.
