What is the origin of the term heeling over?

It's a sailing term. "Heel" means the lower end or side of a thing on a boat. (The heel of the mast is the part that sits on the deck.) The heel of the boat itself is the bottom of the boat, and when the boat leans over in the wind you can see the bottom, so it's called "heeling over".
