It's an expression that means "in a manner of speaking, " or "so to speak," or "as you might say." It's literary more than spoken; you might hear it used in educated speech, but it is not common and is more often seen in writing. Example: When the rebels had overthrown the monarchy, the leader of the revolution became, as it were, the new king.
