It's short for "ranch dressing". It is a buttermilk based dressing created by the Hidden Valley Ranch, in Santa Barbara, CA. It was very popular, and they started selling it as a mix. Doritos started using it as a flavor and many other brand names followed suit.

Ranch dressing actually originated on a ranch -- the Hidden Valley Guest Ranch near Santa Barbara, Calif. According to the Hidden Valley Web site, http://www.hiddenvalley.com/
the owners made a dressing with herbs, spices and buttermilk in the 1950s, and the dressing caught on with their guests. The dressing was sold as a dry mix that you combined with buttermilk and mayonnaise or sour cream. Now, the Hidden Valley brand appears on several varieties of bottled ranch dressing in supermarkets. It's also a very popular dip for vegetables or chips. The "ranch" flavor that is added to chips refers to the buttermilk taste that is associated with ranch dressing.
