The word is loosely translated from the Arabic word يشرك which comes from the root word شرك (shirk) It's roughly translated to polytheism.

Shirk, as its name suggests, is associating partners than Allah with Allah in worship, such as calling upon idols or others, seeking help from them, vowing to them, praying to them, fasting for them, or slaughtering for them.

Similarly, if one calls upon the planets, mother nature, the universe or the jinn, or seeks help from them, or asks them for help, or something similar to that, then if one does any of these acts of worship with inanimate objects, or with the dead or absent, this becomes shirk with Allah, the Exalted.

Among the forms of polytheism is to worship other than Allah with complete worship, for this is called polytheism and is called disbelief.

Whoever turns away from Allah completely and makes his worship to other than Allah, such as trees, stones, idols, jinn, or some of the dead whom they call saints, worships them, prays to them, or fasts for them and forgets Allah completely, this is the greatest disbelief and the most severe polytheism.

The same applies to those who deny the existence of Allah and say that there is no god, and that life is matter, such as the communists and atheists who deny the existence of Allah. These are the most disbelieving and misguided people.

Some people may make a mistake out of ignorance and call upon the dead and seek their help as a means, and they think that it is permissible, and this is a great mistake. Because this action is one of the greatest forms of associating partners with Allah, even if some ignorant people or polytheists call it a means, and it is the religion of the polytheists for which Allah has condemned and criticized them, and He sent messengers and revealed books to denounce it and warn against it.
