Could anyone tell me, what's the meaning of this word: 高冷? Haven't found any translation in the dictionary or any explanations.

It's an internet slang, so you can't find it on a normal dictionary.
高 refers to 高高在上,高傲, which mean "to be arrogant", "to have an attitude of looking down upon someone"
冷 refers to 冷漠,冷冰冰, which mean "to be indifferent", "unconcern"
so 高冷 basically means a cold attitude.

How about "aloof"? In addition to cold and distant, the person also puts him/herself on a higher position than the listener.
高冷 is abbreviated from 高贵冷艳
高 means 高贵, which means "noble"
冷 means 冷艳, which means "beautiful and not easy to get close"
高冷 is usually used in conversation with friends as a joke. Usually not a bad word.
高 冷 means standing on the fridge (tall and cold ) :p
