Oscillating means it move back and forth - that is the fan rotates one way then the other - distributing the air throughout the room and cooling in more than just one direction...
more info:
An oscillating fan is a fan that rotates side to side while blowing. A great alternative to box fans for cooling rooms, an oscillating fan creates a breeze throughout the room rather than just blowing in one direction. An oscillating fan generally has either a base or a stand that is stationary, while the unit that houses the fan moves separately.
There are many different sizes of oscillating fans, and a great many of them have different settings. The most versatile kind of oscillating fan has a setting that allows the fan to remain stationary, blowing in only one direction, or alternately to oscillate, or move side to side. Another feature of a versatile oscillating fan is the ability to direct the breeze it creates at different angles. This is sometimes achieved with a unit that pivots up and down, or may be accomplished with an adjustable pole-like stand.
Some oscillating fans are a combination unit with both a heat and a cool setting. The oscillating fan unit in these combinations rotates the same way and either blows heated air or operates on the standard fan setting, making these combination space heater/fans practical for year-round use. A few combination models even include digital thermostatic controls for heat operation.
Depending on your summer cooling needs, an oscillating fan is often much more efficient at circulating air throughout a room than a standard box fan. Most models of oscillating fans or combination heater units are more expensive than standard box fans, but provide more versatile uses and efficiency. Remember to periodically check fans or space heaters as a safety precaution. Pay attention to damaged cords or plugs, make sure to watch small children around any type of fan covered with a grill that allows small fingers to fit through, and never leave a space heater running unattended.

Its a fan that rotates from side to side. Its good if you have people sitting in different areas, it keeps everone cool. Also an oscillating fan is cool if you're sitting alone, because you can make it stop moving and focus on one spot in the room.

It moves from side to side. It usually can be locked in place: left, right, or center.
