Classic hedging is when you have a position on one financial instrument but you use another financial instrument to cover a loss should the price of the current financial instrument move in your direction = it could be an option or a futures.

Hedging is the opening of two opposite transactions in different markets to cover possible losses on one of them. In other words - it is a protection against financial losses Open Wikipedia it is written in very simple language

Classic hedging is Alfred Winslow Jones. An investor buys stocks which in his opinion should show a performance above the market average and sells short stocks which in his opinion should show a performance below the market average by the same amount. That is the net exposure of shares as an asset class is zero and all the risks are idiosyncratic, i.e. inherent to individual securities rather than to shares as an asset class. In other words, the market risk is hedged.
