I think the term refers to the fact our Savior having no sin would have to be separated from our Heavenly Father's presence. What would be more bitter then for the first time be away from His father? This shows how much He loves us. He knew how hard would be to face the atonement, but His love is bigger and he is willing to drink of it. Bitter cup, he took in order to save us from drinking of it.
