The term "scripting" is most often used to mean generating DDL scripts from existing database objects using tools like SSMS, ADS, mssql-scripter, or the SMO API.
For example, when you right-click on an object in SSMS Object Explorer, one of the context menu options is "Script as", where you can select the option to generate the script as Create to--->New Query Editor Window. The script can then be modified
and executed as desired.
Scripting can also mean the general action of authoring T-SQL scripts so you'll need to understand the context of the term.
