Simply put, this is the act of adjusting a lens in order to produce a sharp image. More technically, what happens is that focal length is minutely adjusted to bring a desired subject into sharpness, thus “focused”. There are several types of focus:

A point at which converging rays of light meet after being refracted or reflected. An "in focus" image is something that is sharp and well defined.

The focus, or focal point, of a lens is the point onto which collimated light parallel to the axis is focused. Although the focus is conceptually a point, physically, the focus has a spatial extent, called the Airy disc, or blur circle, due to the width of the aperture of the imaging optics.
