Send refers to the act of moving a card from field, hand, Main or Extra Deck to the Graveyard.
Cards can be sent to the Graveyard when performing a Synchro Summon, or as a result of Tributing, destroying, discarding and detaching. They can also be sent to the Graveyard as a cost or by an effect (that uses this term).
However, note that 'sent' cards from your hand are not automatically classed as discarded.
Proper knowledge of the difference between send, Tribute, destroy, discard and detach could mean the difference between a win and a loss in playing the game. For example, "The Fabled Cerburrel" activates its effect when discarded to the Graveyard by "Card Destruction" but not when sent to the Graveyard by "Hand Destruction".
Another example is the effect of "Dark End Dragon". Because its effect sends monster to the Graveyard, it cannot be chained to by the effects of "Stardust Dragon", "My Body as a Shield", or "Destruction Jammer" because it does not destroy the monster.
Yet another example is why the effects of "Sangan" and "Dandylion" activate when they are Tributed. Their card texts state "When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard...", therefore they do not have to be destroyed unlike cards such as "Giant Rat" and "Shining Angel".
