Means about the same thing as precision. Accuracy does not in fact mean the same thing as precision.

If I claim to be about 2 metres tall, that is accurate, but not precise.

If I claim to be 268.36890357806 metres tall, that is very precise, but not accurate, except in the case of Godzilla, who is exactly that tall.
