When us here talk about retrograde planets, what is meant?

My degree is in Physics, and we mean an object orbiting in the reverse direction. There are no planets that do this. Triton, I believe, a moon of Neptune is the only one.

When we used to think that Earth was the center of the universe we were confused by Mercury and Venus making a loop-path in the sky. This is because their orbit is inside ours (I've heard that called retrograde.), but from Mars on out they just trace simply a straight path. How is it meant in our discussions? Thanks!
