this means that instead of dog-bones that just slide around in cups, CV's have a special means of connecting the wheel to the axle- usually by a universal joint- or two hubs that join together with a X shaped pinion.

in short, they are smoother, stronger and last longer.

I work on vehicles, I know what a CV is, it's just they are called CV Joints not CVD on vehicles. Thank you for the reply.
