I read the definition, but I really can’t wrap my head around what it actually means.

If the question is why “full motion”, that means it’s at least as good as the video you’d see on your TV–e.g. full screen, 25 or 30 frames per second depending on location. This is to contrast with “partial motion video”, which would only occupy part of the screen and/or be at a lower frame rate, because that’s all that older machines could handle back in the 90s.
