It refers to polygons whos edges don't appear to be straight, as in the renderer draws them as jagged lines instead, also know as aliasing. The same thing applies to pictures, ie in photoshop when you draw a line with the line tool, it isn't smooth, because photoshop works on a pixel basis, so the line can only be jagged, because the pixels are essentially square. anti-aliasing (in 2 and 3D) refers to filters that make the line appear straight,often meaning it blurs it slightly so the sharp edges fade.

Like I say below, super-sampling and bi-linear filtering are two of the most common.
In things like font rendering you can calculate for each pixel not just whether it's in or out the glyph (character), but what fraction of the pixel is in or out. For a pixel 30% in the character, you fill it 30% grey.
The human eye will actually perceive a blury line/edge as straighter and finer than an on/off pixel edge when it's diagonal.
In fact recently there's been a more interesting improvement in anti-aliasing for fonts on LCD screens. You now get anti-aliasing routines for fonts which renders little bits of red or blue along the edge of the fonts (which is better than grey because the red cell in the pixel is on the left and the blue cell is on the right*).
Try zooming in on small fonts in XP on a laptop, you might be able to see it - it looks crap close up, but really makes things look sharp when viewed normally.
* - On some LCD's it's BGR etc... but you get the point.

Photoshop is probably doing something like bi-liinear or bi-cubic filtering whereas 3D graphics cards can also do semi-translucent edges and supersampling when rendering.

Aliasing refers to visual artifacts perceived by the eye which are a result of the display technology and not intended to be present. Ie, when a line is nearly horizontal or vertical on a monitor you can see steps along it (commonly called jaggies).
This all started with things like font rendering (which is a highly developed a scary subject in its own right) but applies to any computer graphics.
So, in order to remove the aliasing which has occured, you do 'anti-aliasing'. This is any procedure which reduces the aliasing although these days it's tends to revolve around super-sampling (making the image bigger than you needed and then reducing it) or some form of filtering (bi-linear / cubic etc...).
As a term it pre-dates photoshop by about 20 years and goes back to the first digital typesetting and so on.

is where a signal is distorted by undersampling. Where you haven't taken enough data points to accurately represent the image.
In normal sampling there's a certain rate at which aliasing begins to occur, but I'm not sure about how it applies to images, since I nearly failed DSP so I didn't take image processing
