In the old days before newspeak it was called "weaponizing".
It's making a disease more contagious and deadly to humans.

It’s double speak for bioweaponization.
Taking genetic information for proteins from one virus, and transplanting it another one, which would have never happened in nature. To study it of course. For science. Think of the children!
In the case of CV19, the gp120 spike protein from HIV was added to the surface envelope of the Sars-cov2 virus 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 now think about that for a min.
So ... biological terrorism? Why not just call it that instead of GOF?
Don't you remember that George Carlin bit? Terrorism would put attention where they don't want it to be. Gain of function sounds so benign and harmless. Sorta sounds like they're just growing pokemon in Wuhan, not stitching together the apocalypse.
Typically, they take a pathogen and improve its ability to spread in humans. For instance, with the bat virus, it was not naturally easy (or maybe possible) for it to spread between humans. They added genes that helped it do that, saying that that would help them study the virus.
Exactly what its words mean. Attempts to add a function to a pathogen, usually a virus.
This could mean making it airborne. Could mean getting it to fight cancer. Could mean making it 10x more infectious. Call it viral modification research.
For COVID, it looks like the HIV spike protein was added to the 2004 SARS coronavirus in order to increase the cardiovascular problems it causes. It gained the functions of attacking immune cells and triggering capillary clots.
It's research to take a virus that is capable of x and y and making it also be able to do z. More like gain of ability. Someone said, "can we make this virus worse" and the answer was yes.
Turning a limp dick into an erection.
frankenstien virus made of parts you like.. like - highly contagous, kills quickly, transfers via air, short germination, or maybe you dont want to kill but liquify everyones kidneys , or lungs so you can sell them heath care for the rest of there life.
