What is a positioned ancestor?

I am reading the “Positioning Techniques” of this article on MDN.
It talks about “Absolute positioning elements can be fixed to a position relative to its nearest positioned ancestor element”.

absolutely positioned element goes out of screen

I have a paragraph which has certain words that have a description (in glossary table), so in each word that exists in the glossary there should be a plus sign, when i click it, it should show the description in a box over the text. each word that has a description is wrapped in glossary_container(positioned relative) class, and each description has a class glossary_description positioned absolute).
