I tried to look for a good dictionary definition before replying, and the best I could come up with was:
"a mechanical hold or advantage."
I usually hear it used in orthopedics where plates and screws are applied with good purchase, but would imagine sutures could also be used to create a mechanical hold on tissue.
Have a good day.
