As per Webster's dictionary:
technical - of, relating to,or derived from technique or technology; of, or using technical knowlege; specialized
writing - to create and put down on paper; to communicate by writing; to send a communication
As pertains to my profession, which is Wildlife Biology, "technical writing" would refer to the combination of all of the above definitions. A biologist will need to be able to document specialized data collected, communicate with other professionals using technical knowlege and proper verbage thereof, and be able to translate technical and specific information in such a way as to be understandable to the layperson.
