It means "suspended". Chances are, you're either looking at a "sus2" or a "sus4". It means to play the 2nd or the 4th note instead of the 3rd. In a major chord, only 3 notes are played. The first, third, and fifth notes in that major scale. Just replace the 3rd with whatever note is being suspended...2 or 4.
