Analytic languages tend to spread complex meaning across multiple words (e.g. stuff like when an action happened or the ordering of actions, etc.). Its opposite is synthetic languages, that tend to group complex meaning into a single word, such as via inflections (e.g. different tenses, prefixes, suffixes, etc.) or agglutination (glomming multiple words into a single word). So for example analytic languages tend to lack things like complex verb conjugation systems and instead use context or additional words to mark information about the time, subject, object, etc. of a verb. English for example is usually considered fairly analytic. While there are inflections, they tend to be a lot simpler than many other languages.
