Aggro is short for Aggression or Hate.
Aggro is part of the game mechanics that determines with which player will become the focus of mob attacks. Typically, when there is a Warrior in party, these tanks receive the bulk of the aggro, which is the reason why they have the highest armor and HP. But, with many parties running tankless, aggro control is an important part for survival while also keeping runs fast.
Against bosses, if you find that you are receiving the most aggro, then it makes more sense to move into a kiting/defensive position, and slow down your attacks (this may mean you skip an aimed shot, or use two or three auto attacks instead of a skill rotation). But when someone steals aggro from you, you can move into a max damage position (which puts you into melee range). Balancing aggro distribution is what makes bosses spend most of the match turning in circles as the aggro target is constantly changing. Aggro control is subtle and requires a lot of experience to read and manage properly.
