Put simply, just a bunch of compiled 'functions' - as opposed to a
complete, runnable program - which you can call from your running program.
DLL's sometimes contain other stuff as well - bitmaps, icons, and
various other data which programs may want to use, generally referred
to as 'resources'.
The purpose, of course, was to save space and to prevent
programmers from having to continually 're-invent the wheel'
with each program they write.

>From Webopedia.internet.com :
"Short for Dynamic Link Library, a library of executable functions or data
that can be used by a Windows application. Typically, a DLL provides one or
more particular functions and a program accesses the functions by creating
either a static or dynamic link to the DLL. A static link remains constant
during program execution while a dynamic link is created by the program as
needed. DLLs can also contain just data. DLL files usually end with the
extension .dll,.exe., drv, or .fon.
A DLL can be used by several applications at the same time. Some DLLs are
provided with the Windows operating system and available for any Windows
application. Other DLLs are written for a particular application and are
loaded with the application."
