I’m a little bit behind the curve here. Faithless elector is a new term to me. What does that mean?

An elector swears an oath to vote either for whoever won the popular vote in their state or whoever won the popular vote in their district.
If they do not then they have "broken faith" and violated their oath.
Thus "Faithless Elector".
