It means the lagging of an effect behind its cause.
Hysteresis represents the history dependence of physical systems. If you push on something, it will yield: when you release, does it spring back completely? If it doesn't, it is exhibiting hysteresis, in some broad sense.
It can be applied to anything. In simple terms it means in going from one state to another and vise versa, you need to add energy or overcome some energy barrier. It's the basis on how memory works. You need to energy to put whatever you are using into the '1' state and you want it to stay here. If there is no energy needed to travel back to the 0 state, then it can switch and we have no memory. So we want a system where you need to overcome some threshold energy to go from 0 to 1 and 1 to 0.
