It is the name of a encyclopedic website at
http://en.wikipedia.org
It is excellent for homework help, in fact it is on the Yahoo!Answers page when you answer a question as a tool to search for answers.
"wiki" means "hurry quick" in Hawaiian. it is called this because it is possible to edit the wikipedia to update it quickly and easily.
"pedia" is from encyclopedia.

Because of the success of Wikipedia (see link in other answer) Wiki has been given a meaning it never had before they used it. Pedia comes from Encyclopedia - a gathering of knowledge. Wiki now means a site on the internet where anyone from a larger or smaller group and edit and change a document - which is true of most of what is on Wikipedia, making its content extremely untrustworthy at any given moment - Because I can go in and say George Bush was a communist in college, until someone changes it. Other Wiki setups are being used to share editing of documents or working out of plans for groups of people.

Wikipedia website is a Wiki, which means that anyone with access to an Internet-connected computer can edit, correct, or improve information throughout the encyclopedia. Pedia is basically Encyclopedia in short.
