WiFi is the nickname for Wireless Fidelity - high speed internet and network connection without the use of wires, cables and other stuff you can trip over.
Wi-Fi is simply a trademarked term meaning IEEE 802.11x. The false notion that the brand name Wi-Fi is short for wireless fidelity has spread to such an extent that even industry leaders have included the phrase wireless fidelity in a press release.
