double

This means the original note is raised by two half-steps. In standard music notation the double-sharp symbol resembles a bold letter "x" but can also appear as ##. Chords are generally derived from every other note of a scale and some key signatures contain scales with double-sharps.

A Double Flat is an accidental used to lower a note by a whole step. To raise a note by a whole step means moving two half steps to the right to the next adjacent key on the piano keyboard.

The purpose of double sharps and flats in key signatures is to represent this scale in the way it is written, and avoid constant use of accidentals on a note - as per the example switching between G and G#.
