Ask him to clarify his comments. He may be suggesting that in the context of the field you're writing in an explanatory note may be in order, alternatively he may be querying its relevance.

If he is actually asking what the term means then he has no business marking that down, because it's not exactly an unknown term in general academia. Ask him.
