What does attribute mean

[Jigneshbharati]

Good evening,

First of all, sorry for asking such a basic question but what does attribute mean in the context of Excel. I saw that in power query.
I am really sorry if we are not allowed to ask such a basic question. English is not my first language.
Thank you in advance.
