Limited slip means it slips limitedly. As in, when you're making a turn the outside wheel turns faster than the inside wheel. The differential slips just enough to keep the wheels from trying to turn at the same speed.
The amount of torque distributed between the wheels is limited (hence the term). If 100% of force were able to be distributed to both wheels then this would be a locked unit with no differential effect.
I put a Powertrax locking differential in my '92 Camaro. It would lock and unlock through turns to act as an open differential, but once torque was applied it locked the teeth and acted as a straight axle.
It was great for straight line acceleration. AAMOF, it shaved .3 seconds off my 60 foot time after installing it. But it sucked when I accelerated through turns or curves. I could feel the rear end trying to push the car straight. And it was hell in the snow. Both wheels spun all the time when I was trying to accelerate.
Limited slip helps prevent that.
