To me, the word "technical" means "pertaining to science," and usually involves jargon used in science and engineering occupations. "Writing" basically means "written communication," so "technical writing" would be written documents that contain subject-specific jargon and pertain to a scientific subject. I have always thought of technical writing in the way described above, although after looking up different definitions I am aware that technical writing also includes written instructions on non-scientific subjects, and writing on art and other subjects. My personal definition is very similar to the meaning of "technical writing" within my field, which means Ceramic and Materials Engineering.
