An OS is an Operating System. This is the main software running on a computer that you interface with and run your programs... such as Microsoft Windows, or Apple's Mac OS X.

A complier is a tool used to take the programming source code that someone has written to make a program, and build it into an actual application to run... which will then run on an OS most of the time.... though OSes are programmed and compiled as well.
