There are two meanings of the word. Early stages were tilted a little to give everyone a better view, before some bright mind got the idea to tilt the house instead. The side furthest from the audience was a little higher. That's why the front of the stage is "downstage" and the back of the stage is "upstage." The other use of the word refers to some action on the stage stealing the focus from another actor. This term literally derives from one actor "upstaging" another, that is, being upstage from them. The upstage actor can naturally face the audience while speaking to the downstage actor; the downstage actor must either reply without facing the upstage actor (which usually looks unnatural) or turn his back to the audience (a weaker position, since the audience can no longer see his face).
