It's suspended (fours), actually, notated as `sus' or `sus4'. Quite
frequently used guitar chord too. The trick is to replace the third by
the fourth, e.g. D = D F# A becomes Dsus4 = D G A
E.g.
EADGBE -> guitar tuning
Dsus(4) = D G A = x00233 (E,,A,,D,G,B,E in abc-notation ;-))
Asus(4) = A D E = x02230
etc.
For info on the chord notation, see

There's also a suspended second chord, in which the third is replaced
with the second, e.g. Dsus2 = D E A (= 000230 on the guitar), Asus2 = A
B E = 002200.
