The phrase originates from the days of sailing ships. It is a call for agreement – sort of like saying “Aye!” or “I agree” to something said in order to show assent. It also originates from the naval term AYE, which means affirmative, and thus could have been adapted into everyday usage by sailors in response to having their commands confirmed.
