The term came from rugby and means the receiver of the kick was behind the line where the ball was when it was kicked.
An offside kick occurs when a member of the kicking team is the first to possess the ball and that kicking team member was beyond the line where the ball was when it was kicked - this results in possession by the receiving team.
