Answer: He didn't want people to know that he was the Messiah.
The term was first used by German theologian, W. Wrede, in 1901. It stems from the fact that, several times in Mark, Jesus forbids people to talk about him. One such example comes in the gospel's opening chapter:
"Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: 'See that you don't tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.'" (Mark 1 v. 43-44)
