framework describing physics at low energies with only the relevant degrees of freedom, organizing effects of heavier physics into a series of suppressed operators.

In particle physics, effective field theory refers to framework describing physics at low energies with only the relevant degrees of freedom, organizing effects of heavier physics into a series of suppressed operators. This meaning comes from Georgi (1993) in Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science.[1]
