| If I recall correctly, the subject refers to synthetically treating each coupon payment as though it were a zero coupon bond. Normally, bonds pay a sequence of interest payments and a lump sum at maturity. The context here is to look at the payment stream as a series of standalone bonds. 
 I think you need to understand this concept pretty well, because later sections of fixed income build upon it.
