useradd question

The man pages for useradd show the -k flag as a option, problem is I don't know what the description means. Could someone explain what "an alternative skel directory" is?
Is skel an acronym?
Thanks


From the man page:
-k, --skel skeldir
Specify an alternative skel directory. This option is only
valid, if the home directory for the new user should be cre‐
ated, too. If not specified, the default from
/etc/default/useradd or /etc/skel is used.
