IPF stands for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. This thickened, stiff tissue makes it more difficult for your lungs to work properly. As @rcfan9 mentioned, "idiopathic" means that the cause of the pulmonary fibrosis is unknown.
