What is an extent ?

SQL reference manual talks about how to increase and decrease the number of extents but doesn't actually say what it is. Looks like short for "extensions" Maybe not. (Minimum extensions, maximum extensions) doesn't make sense. I looked up "extent" in webter and their description of the word extent doesn't seem fitting either. Any ideas ?

Thanks.
