What is the meaning of difficulty in Bitcoin mining?

I'm a beginner in Bitcoin and Blockchain technology, so I have a question after reading about the difficulty in Bitcoin mining:


What does the difficulty actually mean?


I read that



A high difficulty means that it will take more computing power to mine
the same number of blocks, making the network more secure against
attacks



However, I don't clearly understand.


Ex: When the difficulty is 6, then what I can know from that number?
