Underwriting is the process of assessing the risk presented to the insurer, deciding on whether or not to offer cover and if so on what terms.
When you submit an application for insurance, an underwriter looks at the information and assesses the level of risk your situation presents to the insurer, and if they want to insure you. Underwtiting also (any more commonly) involves the setting of premiums and limitations in cover.
If you have a history of auto insurance claims for example and apply for cover with a new insurer, they will charge you more than if you had a clean record, or may choose to exclude certain types of cover, or do other things like set higher deductibles.

Hope this helps.
