The meaning of plasmolysis is shrinking of the cytoplasm away from the wall of a living cell due to outward osmotic flow of water.

Plasmolysis is when plant cells lose water after being placed in a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes than the cell does. This is known as a hypertonic solution. Water flows out of the cells and into the surrounding fluid due to osmosis.
