Leverage means to get more with little force as in physics. But in accounting it tells us how we can know from our sales that how much EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) will be. In acc it is called degree of leverage and is calculated as

DOL= contribution margin/EBIT

For exp, if DOL=2 It means if we increase sale by 5% EBIT will increase by (2*5%) 10%. ok dear pray for me
