It has to do with "how much" an aircraft (fixed wing or not) is rolling in one direction.

EDIT:
Just to make things a bit clearer, an aircraft can roll, yaw or pitch.
When it rolls, it turns on its longitudinal axis. When it pitches, it goes up or down. When it yaws, it turns left or right on a perpendicular axis to the wings (if it's a fixed wing aircraft) or main rotor (helicopter). |
