It comes from Greek apo- which means "away from". Thus "aphelion" is the point in a body's orbit when it is farthest away from the Sun (helios) and "apogee' is the point where a body orbiting the Earth is farthest from the Earth (geos).

Why is the absolute refractory period important?
The absolute refractory period (ARP) is important because it keeps the action potential (AP) moving in one direction down the axon. Imagine a neuron in which the AP progresses from left to right. For simplicity, let's number the leftmost area of the neuron as 1 and the rightmost as 5, like on your right hand on a keyboard. Let's consider the AP at Area 3. At this point, Area 2 is in ARP, meaning the voltage-gated Na channels are inactivated. This prevents the Na influx necessary for an AP there. In contrast, the Na channels at Area 4 are available (i.e., they aren't inactivated), and will open in response to local current coming from Area 3. So Na will then rush into the neuron at Area 4, and the AP continues in that direction. The ARP also limits the neuron's maximum firing frequency, which is relevant to encoding stimulus intensity. This stuff isn't easy. I hope that helps.
