Can anyone tell me what the difference between description and meta-description?

I've just read on the WordPress blog to mainly use "meta-description" as it's strongly recommended. I'm confused.

<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="meta-description" content="">

"meta-description" is a notation that means: meta element with the description name. (I’m using it for example in this answer.)

So you don’t use meta-description as name (which would be invalid anyway, because it’s not registered), but description.
