the leveling off of carrier drift velocity at high electric fields, so mobility falls as field rises.

In semiconductor devices, velocity saturation refers to the leveling off of carrier drift velocity at high electric fields, so mobility falls as field rises. This meaning comes from Caughey (1967) in Proceedings of the IEEE.[1]
