Exert is a keyword action introduced in Amonkhet.[1]
Description
When a creature with the exert ability is declared as an attacker, its controller decides if exert his o her creature or not. If he or she does, then a bonus ability is triggered and the creature doesn't untap in the next untap step.
The flavor of this mechanic is as follows: if the creature exerts, it means the creature is doing a big effort, and who efforts gets a bonus. But then, the creature is exhausted by the effort, and thus it doesn't untap in the next untap step.
