MSD means Most significant digit. It has the most weight.
For example: Let us take a number 1500. In which if you change the MSB (msd) as 2, then the number will be changed as 2500, where there is a large difference between them.
But if you change the LSB as 2 there is no large variation between them. So only the MSB has the most weight.

MSD is similar to that of MSB, most significant bit.
For example consider BCD code, or 8421 code number 12 is indicated as 1100. In that left most bit is 1 which has highest weight of 8, That is called as most significant bit MSB or MSD. Similarly, the least significant bit is right most bit that is zero which is of least weight i.e 1 (8421).
