Gas
Gas is the cost that the Ethereum network charges to process a transaction. It is a method to measure computational steps necessary for a transaction on the Ethereum network that then translates to a fee for network users. More intensive actions require more gas and this acts as an anti-spam measure to ensure the network is not clogged.
