It means “days” – literally it is 2300 evenings and mornings. Roughly 6 years and 4 months.

2,000 and 3,000 days is literally 2,300 evenings and mornings which could very easily refer to evening and morning sacrifices or 1,150 days. This figure would encompass the the time when the temple was desolated from December 16, 167 B.C. Until early 163 B.C. When the Jewish sacrifices were restored. The latter event took place shortly after the recapture of the temple in late 164 B.C. Others view the 2,300 days as the entire period of time in which the temple was closed by Antiochus IV from 170-164 B.C. What is clear is that the prophecy was about the desecration of the Jerusalem temple during the inter-testament all period.
