It is from a short story by Aesop. The summary of the story is that a wolf wanted to get at the sheep but because of the vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs. One day it found the skin of a sheep that had been flayed and thrown aside, so it put it on over its own pelt so it could blend in and not get caught. The lamb that belonged to the sheep, whose skin the wolf was wearing, began to follow the wolf in the sheep's clothing. Managing to lead the Lamb a little apart, he soon made a meal off her. The wolf continued to succeed in deceiving the sheep, and enjoyed hearty meals. The moral of the story (and the meaning of the idiom) is that looks can be deceptive.

The phrase comes from Aesop and one of his fables. The fable talks about a wolf who stumbles upon a fleece and does what you would expect: use it to try to sneak up on sheep. In the fable, though, the moral of the story comes about when the wolf, mistaken for a sheep, comes to a bad end--done in by his own deceit.Our use of the term doesn't look upon the moral but upon the action: disguising oneself to sneak up on someone undetected.
