It's a device you use to shine your car.I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE TERM BUFFER MEANS?
it's also a device used in semi automatic fire arms to reduce the self destructive forces caused by the blow back action from a fired round.....
buff·er 2 (bfr)
n.
1. Something that lessens or absorbs the shock of an impact.
2. One that protects by intercepting or moderating adverse pressures or influences: "A sense of humor . . . may have served as a buffer against the . . . shocks of disappointment" (James Russell Lowell).
3. Something that separates potentially antagonistic entities, as an area between two rival powers that serves to lessen the danger of conflict.
4. Chemistry A substance that minimizes change in the acidity of a solution when an acid or base is added to the solution.
5. Computer Science A device or area used to store data temporarily.
Definition 1 is what you are looking for- as it pertains to a buffer circuit

ROB YOU ARE THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION THOUGH IT IS NOT A TERM THAT MEANS ANYTHING PERTAINING TO TO WHAT I THOUGHT IT DID. BUT DOES A BUFFERED CIRCUIT MEAN THAT ITS BEEN POLISHED TO NEW?

In the olden days, as my kids used to say before they had kids of their own, it wasn't rare for a ham to build a one-tube rig and put it on the air just by coupling the output to the antenna. The amount of coupling and the degree of mismatch could seriously detune the rig, so most of us built buffer stages which serve to isolate the oscillator (the one tube rig) from the antenna. Changes in the antenna thereby had much less effect on the oscillator, resulting in much greater stability and better output quality.
Then came the pi-network outputs, multi-807 finals (later 6146s) and so forth.
So a "buffer" is a stage that isolates sensitive stages from unwanted influences.
