As I understand it, it basically means Final Word.
The Pope, supposedly with the intent of guarding the faith is supposed to have the final word on matters concerning Church body, after consulting his bishops and cardinals.

Infallibility is something the Pope himself must maintain. He must justify his pronouncements with the Gospel.
