It means: the other way round /conversely.
The first word, vice, is the ablative case of a Latin word meaning 'interchange; alternation'. It's used in English as a preposition meaning 'instead of/in the place of', The second element, versa, is a participle from the verb vertere 'to turn', which also turns up in such English words as revert and invert.

The phrase is "vice versa" and has a Latin origin.
"Vice" means "in the place of" or "in succession to" as in "The Vice-President would act in place of the President". The root of "vice" is "vix" meaning "change".
"Versa" is a form of the Latin verb "vertere" and is a participle. "Vertere" means "to turn".
So "vice versa" means "the position being reversed".
