If you retort you make a short and rather angry reply to someone who has said something that annoys you. Example - She offered me to help me but I retorted that I could do it myself. 'Mind your own business,' she retorted.

Depending upon the use of this word- noun or verb, you are looking at this meaning.....noun: a quick reply to a question or remark (especially a witty or critical one)
verb: to answer back. Sentence: When the comedian completed his joke, a quick-witted member of the audience retorted with his own brand of comedy causing the audience to respond with laughter. (context clue in the sentence to help you 'know' the meaning is - "quick-witted". I hope this helps.

It means replied, but has a slightly more forceful tone.
