WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get.
In MS Word that means that you see immediately what format options you chose. For instance, if you mark a piece of text as headline you immediately see the text being displayed in a larger font, bold face and so on.
To a human, that is easier than reading
{h1}{b}Headline{/b}{/h1}
The first versions of Word used that type of text markup. You never really saw the formatting you did. You had to imagine it. Or print it to see.
Since that confused most people, WYSIWYG was invented - and is now standard in all Windows programs.
