Kiting refers to the combat strategy of engaging a mob in combat and flying away from it while it chases you, i.e. like a child flying a kite.
Ideally while doing this you keep it in range for you to hit it while it's out of range to hit you.
This strategy is fundamental to solo play as a Terran using Missile Launchers as weapons. It depends upon being faster than your enemy (which Terrans are well-suited for with their L9 engines) and having a longer range (which missiles are also well-suited for as the longest range weapons in the game).
