For what does it mean?

What is the meaning of "for what" in the question "For what does it mean"? I have checked some dictionaries but it does not make sense for me.

In what context did you find this? This is not really a complete question. It's part of a larger utterance.

to me

Me, neither. It could be a fragment, with "for" in the sense "because". For example, "We are confused by the modern use of the word 'gender'. For what does it mean?" But that is a bit far-fetched.

Please provide the context you saw this in (for crying out loud).
