"Set aside" literally means to put to one side. In a figurative sense, it means to put away, put down, or stop using something temporarily.

Setting something aside for later use means you are not working with something now, but you will later. E.g. in a recipe: "Cut the tops of the beets off and set them aside for later use." You don't throw the beet tops away, because you are going to use them later, but you put them to one side because you are not going to use them right now.
