Here's a simple example:

You have 100 patients for a medical study. You measure 10 different body characteristics (e.g. height, weight, LDL cholesterol, etc) and then monitor each patient for 20 different symptoms over the next 2 years. You would use multivariate analysis to see which groups of body characteristics correlate with which sets of symptoms.
