The term "shutter speed" comes from the camera's shutter which acts as a curtain that moves in front of the sensor on DSLR cameras. The shutter allows for either large amounts of light in to reach the sensor, or very small amounts of light depending on what you are trying to shoot. When you take a photo with a DSLR camera, you will notice the clicking sound on the camera when the shutter is moving back and forth over the sensor.
