An orbifold is called good (Thurston 92, Ch. 13, Def. 13.2.3) or developable if it is isomorphic to a global quotient of a smooth manifold by the action of a discrete group (not necessarily finite):
Otherwise is called bad.
If is even the global quotient of a smooth manifold by a finite group action one says that it is very good.
In the other direction, an orbifold that is the global quotient of a smooth manifold by some (compact) Lie group is called a presentable orbifold.
The notion of good orbifolds is due to Def. 13.2.3 in:
