Do anyone know the differences between the enriched results and the purifed results after the GOEA analysis of the GOATOOLS?

After I run the GOEA analysis using the GOEnrichmentStudyNS function, the output has a column named enrichment. It has two values: e and p, where e represents enriched results and p represents purified results. Do anyone know the differences between these two?

They are opposite trend.
e represent enrichment, which means there are significantly more count in the target term. p is the direct opposite, means that there are significantly fewer count in the target term.
