What does "threds" mean?

In the forum, I often encounter the word thread. What's its meaning? I can't find a proper explanation in my dictionary.

Hi, In computer science, a thread refers to a thread of execution which is the basis for a multitasking operating system. Any given application (program) can contain only one (single-threaded) or multiple threads (multi-threaded). The meaning of 'thread' that you're looking for is similar to 'theme/topic'/subject'.
