What does `inferior' mean?

I saw this term(or `word') in Emacs-related materials many times, such as IELM, 
inferior-apl, inferior Octave, inferior-moz-process and so on.  What does it 
mean?

I only know it means `of lower quality' or `of lower rank', but it seems none 
of them fits the meaning in Emacs.
