It’s a form of “am not”, “is not”, or “are not”.
Originally it was used by the upper class in England, which is how it came to be frowned upon here. But now it’s just deemed bad grammar.

Well, according to Wikipedia:
Ain’t is a contraction originally just for “am not”,
Good question. I learned something in answering it.
