If you would know what a complement is, then it should be clear, right?

Pareto Select allows you to select for example the top x customers that account for 80% of the sales. In this example Select Complement will select those customers that are not in the top x that account for the 80%. Or in other words the bottom X customers that account for 20% of the sales.
