Flashing is a term used in the electronics field to indicate writing data to an Integrate Chip (IC). For example computer motherboards have a BIOS, an IC. When you download a new BIOS firmware from the manufacturer and install it onto your motherboard the term is called flashing the BIOS. The program used to write the firmware to the BIOS is called a flasher.
So a flasher is the software / program used to load data onto an Integrated Chip. In this case we are discussing the PRS Plus modified firmware and waiting until a program is developed to write (flash) the firmware to your ereader. This program is called a flasher.
I hope I didn't confuse you more. Here is some light reading:
