Generically, a chamber orchestra is a small orchestra that plays orchestral music.
The difference between a chamber orchestra and a full symphony orchestra is that a chamber orchestra generally features only one player per part (one possible exception is in violin parts). Note that "part" means separate part in the score, not necessarily instrument (a symphony may have two Flute parts, for example).
So instead of, for example, two or three horns playing the same melodic line, there will only be one. A useful comparison between a "full" orchestra and a "chamber" orchestra: the New York Philharmonic and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. According to their official web page, the NY Phil has 106 members, whereas the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra only lists 31, including a single horn player, 2 trumpets, 2 bassoons, 2 clarinets, 2 oboes, 2 flutes, 2 basses, 4 cellos, 3 violas, and 10 violinists. Compare to the NY Phil, which has 5 listed horn players and 4 listed flute players, just as a starter. Admittedly this is larger than many full symphonies, but still the comparison is useful.
Written for a small group of instrument, traditionally could be accommodted in a palace chamber.
A group of 2-9 musicians who play exclusively in small venues (chambers)
