I think it is called "Ireneaus's doctrine of salvation".

Edited. I did not understand what the doctrine in question was and was confused....

For Ireneaus, the word would likely be "eucharist".;)
(he fought gnosticism on this subject)

no - it is a greek word, probably the Greek word for Recapitulation

Are you thinking of the word apokatastasis?

I thought that was Origen, not Irenaeus, but it's late and I'm tired so don't quote me.

anakephalaiosis

My yahoo search indicates that it is anakephalaiosis.

I see that this means that through the incarnation and rising from the dead, Christ restored all creation fully.

I don't believe this site is Orthodox but here is a description I found about this:
Apokatastasis, Anakephalaiosis and Diastema in Gregory of Nyssa by Brother Casimir McCambley, OCSO (http://apokatastasis,%20anakephalaiosis%20and%20diastema%20in%20gregory%20of%20nyssa/)

I have never found this site before today. It is really interesting. But here is an Orthodox citation on this: Theology Glossary (http://www.theandros.com/glossary.html) (Edited to add. This last website may not be canonical Orthodoxy. It appears so but after reading more about the editor of the site I discovered that he is associated with the "Holy Synod of the American Diaspora of the True Orthodox Christians" and specificially in the "Eparchy of Nebraska" who uses an "adaption of the traditional Eastern Rites for the Western World" Therefore, read this site with great dissernment.)
