Rancidity is a very general term and in its most general meaning, it refers to the spoilage of a food in such a way that it becomes undesirable (and usually unsafe) for consumption. When people say that a food has "gone bad," what they're usually talking about is rancidity.
Rancidity can be prevented using the following methods: Adding antioxidants (substances which prevent oxidation) to food. Storing food in airtight containers to slow the process of rancidification. Refrigerating food also helps to slow down rancidification. Replacing oxygen in the containers with another gas.
