AJAX is an acronym for Asynchronous Javascript and XML. The idea is that instead of submitting a request to a remote process (CGI script, Java Servlet, etc) and displaying the results as a new page, you send an asynchronous request to an XML resource, using the HttpXMLRequest object, in response to user events, and use DOM to update the current page. This allows you to use information from the server (for example to validate user input or to tailor the user interface). Because the requests are sent asynchronously, the user never leaves the current page, thereby maintaining the illusion that everything is happening on the client side.
AdaptivePath, who coined the term, has an introductory article on their
website at:

Afaik, Ajax is a way to render content on the client side, a bit what
is done by the cocoon pipelines.
