Welcome to ELU. I’m afraid that your question is off topic as it stands because it is possible to answer it by consulting an online dictionary. If you still struggle with the meaning once you’ve done that, come back with more context or try English Language Learners SE. "Due" does have more than one meaning, so confusion is understandable.

You need to cite the source of your quote (i.e. Oxford Dictionaries) and properly format it as a quote otherwise it is plagiarism.
