SASS (Syntactically awesome style sheets) is an extension of the CSS which adds syntactic power to the basic CSS language making it easier for developers to write CSS. It is just a CSS preprocessor, so that you can write CSS in an easy and convenient way.

“Sass is a meta-language on top of CSS that's used to describe the style of a document cleanly and structurally, with more power than flat CSS allows. Sass both provides a simpler, more elegant syntax for CSS and implements various features that are useful for creating manageable style sheets.” 

“Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, Variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It’s translated to well-formatted, standard CSS using the command line tool or a web-framework plugin.”

It’s Sass not SASS. Sass doesn’t stand for anything, except maybe making your CSS Sassier. Sass makes CSS more Sassy because it’s a preprocessor. Preprocessors make writing code easier.
