"moment" in physics is defined as:

The product of a quantity and its perpendicular distance from a reference point.

While "torque" is defined as:

The moment of a force; the measure of a force's tendency to produce torsion and rotation about an axis, equal to the vector product of the radius vector from the axis of rotation to the point of application of the force and the force vector.

So this would be how I would understand that phrase.
