Edited version of a film, TV episode, music video, etc. that is supposed to represent the director's own approved edit
In public use, a director's cut is the director's preferred version of a film. It is generally considered a marketing term to represent the version of a film the director prefers, and is usually used as contrast to a theatrical release where the director did not have final cut privilege and did not agree with what was released. ("Cut" explicitly refers to the editing process.) Wikipedia
