From Wikipedia... reduction potential

Measure of the tendency of a substance to gain or lose electrons

Redox potential is a measure of the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons from or lose electrons to an electrode and thereby be reduced or oxidised respectively. Redox potential is expressed in volts (V). Each species has its own intrinsic redox potential; for example, the more positive the reduction potential, the greater the species' affinity for electrons and tendency to be reduced.
