An attenuator attenuates the signal.
The short definition is that it makes it weaker. In other words it cuts the power. When you attenuate something you typically divide it's power by some preset factor. I had attenuators for an OLD scope. They were used for measuring higher voltages safely by making them 10 times lower. 100 volts would appear as 10 volts - and so on.
