Aliasing is where you start to distinguish individual pixels on the edge of 3D objects. Anti-aliasing is the attempt to remove that. There are different forms of anti-aliasing(AA) such as FXAA(Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing), MSAA(Multi-Sampling Anti-Aliasing), and SSAA(Super-Sampling Anti-Aliasing).
