It means that the word "laser" was coined by stringing together the initial letters of a phrase: "Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation" (short grammatical words like "by", "the" and "of" are often omitted in acronyms).

Another common English acronym is "Scuba", which is from the phrase "Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus".
