Programmers that make MacOS apps see a lot of things with “NS” in the name. For example, if you want to play sound in your code, you can use something called NSSound. If you want to interact with the clipboard (or “pasteboard” as MacOS calls it), you use something called NSPasteboard
“NS” is short for “NeXTStep”. Apple kept the old prefix even though it’s called MacOS now.
