In the days of typewriters, the capital letters were in a lower row on the type bar than the lowercase letters. When you needed a capital letter, you pressed the "Shift" key, which raised the whole type bar assembly ("shifted" it upwards) to get a capital letter. The term has hung on into the computer age.
