What does it mean to be ordained?

Answer 1

To be ordained is the public acknowledging by the church that is lead by the Holy Spirit in recognizing God's call upon a candidate for the capacity of ministering the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Answer 2

It means that some religious organization has voted that you've achieved a status acceptable enough to be considered an authority within the church and therefore a leader of a congregation. Once that vote is taken, the ordination actually takes place at a ceremony presided over by other ordained clergy.

Most religions have some process of ordination, but this varies significantly between religions and between sects.
