What's the meaning of "pondering" in the settings of many GO programs?

Usually it means that the program thinks during your turn.

OK, thanks,
I was not sure
Then if I want to play a game engine1 vs engine2 I should deactivate it in order to avoid both engines to interfer each other, isn't it?

regards

Where can I find a list of those words.

I've found some other configuration settings like

uct_param_search lock_free 1
uct_param_search virtual_loss 1
uct_param_search number_playouts 2
