I don't know if it has a concrete definition but I generally say it to mean a crypto wallet that is directly or indirectly exposed to the internet.

It's possible to create a bitcoin wallet completely offline in a secure environment. The details to the wallet are then stored physically in a secure location/medium. This is called a cold wallet. People typically use a cold wallet for long-term storage of coins.
