Counter is a term with several different meanings.
Counters on cards
A counter can be used to represent different effects on a card, especially those that last beyond the current turn. Examples include +1/+1 counters, charge counters, and time counters.

Countering spells
Certain spells and abilities can "counter target spell" (or similar effects). Counter in this sense is a keyword action. A spell can also be countered if it no longer has any legal targets when it tries to resolve.
A spell that is countered is put into the graveyard instead of doing its effect. It is essentially negated.
