It is an idiom that means one of a number of listed things or concepts is different from the others in the list in some characteristic way.

For example, in the list "one, two, three, right" the word "right" is the odd one out because it is not a number. In the group "gold, silver, copper, zinc, Mercury" the odd one may be mercury because it is the only one of the five metals that is liquid at room temperature.
