Usually, a slash on symbols in mathematics indicates a negation of the original meaning of the symbol.

For example, \begin{align}=\quad&\to\quad\ne\quad(\text{equality})\\\mid\quad&\to\quad\nmid\quad(\text{divisibility})\\\in\quad&\to\quad\notin\quad(\text{element})\\>\quad&\to\quad\ngtr\quad(\text{greater than})\\<\quad&\to\quad\not\lt\quad(\text{less than})\\\sim\quad&\to\quad\nsim\quad(\text{distribution})\end{align}

$\ngtr$ means not being superior (greater) than something. It is the negation of $>$
