Explain it exactly like it sounds 🙂
It’s called float because an element “floats” like a boat does. Consider the rest of the content water and the object a boat…the object displaces a certain amount of space and the water (other content) wraps around it. In the few times I’ve had to convey this property’s meaning, this was the explanation that “got it across”.
That doesn’t cover the cross-browser quirks like IE floats, but for a general explanation, it works. For a complete explanation, I still think this is the best resource out there: simple tutorials on CSS floats.
