I think it's just something like "minimize", but only from Emacs (no
window manager involved), and you get no icon or whatever to restore the
frame.  Maybe "hide" would be a better name: you can't click on a
invisible frame, it is not on the screen at all until you restore it.

I think for most today users invisible frames are something low-level,
something more or less internal.
