lit- it is money for wheat. Colloquially it has become the term for charitable giving which goes to help people pay for all of necessities of making Passover. Included in that is the cost of Matzoh, Wine, Kosher for Passover food, as well as clothing for the Holiday. It is seen as an obligation even after one has given their annual charitable giving, and is thematically related to the idea of experiencing Freedom on Passover.
