May I ask what the definition of 'rigging' is?

I've seen it mentioned many times on this forum but can't get to grips with what it means. I am not asking how it's done, I just want to know what the purpose of 'rigging' is?

Rigging is the act of making a 3D model in the needed format with needed bones and dummies.
