From a euphemism for being suspended on full pay pending an investigation. You aren’t working, and you can’t work for a competitor, so there’s not much to do but potter about in the garden.
(The term originated when the paid white-collar workforce was still overwhelmingly comprised of men who weren’t responsible for housework or child rearing.)
