It means partial. Some recipes call for parboiling something before actually cooking it. Take for example grilling spare ribs. Parboiling will remove excess fat in the pork and lessen the time it takes to grill the ribs because parboiling will partially cook the ribs. No one wants ribs that are boiled until fully cooked, so parboiling is to partially cook them.
