A DVD+RW is a rewritable optical disc with equal storage capacity to a DVD+R, typically 4.7 GB (interpreted as ≈ 4.7 · 109, actually 2295104 sectors of 2048 bytes each). The format was developed by a coalition of corporations, known as the DVD+RW Alliance, in late 1997, although the standard was abandoned until 2001, when it was heavily revised and the capacity increased from 2.8 GB to 4.7 GB

DVD rw means that you can record something then record over it again. In other words, rw means that the dvd is rewritable.

It's a rewritable dvd, so if you copy something on there and decide you don't want it anymore you can write over it or rewrite and put something else on there.

It means it is a "rewritable" DVD. You can erase it and write over it.
Hope that helps.
