"AoE" is short for Area of Effect, and it's a term used across many games. In general, it refers to something (in CC's case, a skill) that affects a certain area, hence the name Area of Effect. (Yeah, I used "affect" and "effect" correctly here haha "affect" shouldn't be used as a noun here, and "effect" shouldn't be used as a verb here; it's kinda tricky to get the hang of, so don't worry if you get confused. But the term here is, indeed, "Area of Effect", not "Area of Affect".)

So in CC, AoE skills are those skills that hit a bunch of enemies at once (Trystan, Lephret, Kain, Aludra, Cheery), regardless of the size and shape of the skill (we'll say stuff like "big AoE", "fullscreen AoE", etc. if we want to make distinctions).
