An "orphan" has many different definitions in the business world:

In printing: the last word in a paragraph that creates a new line containing one word only. Printers don't like that and will ask the writer to change the wording.

In pharmecuticals - one medicine that is not tied to another line, so it can't piggy-back on the success of other like medicines.

In grocery markets - those cans or other stock items left on the shelf in the wrong place. So you will see a head of lettuce on the soup shelf. Items have to be restocked.
