Contours as in contour integration? They are curves in the complex plane (with enough smoothness properties that we can integrate over them, but the basic intuition is of a curve that you might draw with a pencil). They have a starting point, an ending point, and a direction (from the start to the end). In the case of a closed contour, the ending point is the same as the starting point.
