pseudo first order

What does pseudo first order mean? When would we have to apply this concept?

Pseudo-first order is when you have a rate law with some number of reactants, such that we make all except for 1 reactant constant (usually by making them in large excess so that any reactant used in reaction is negligible) and manipulate the reaction from there.
