Lowering pressure on your partners or yourself by slowing/stunnning/rooting/suppressing/silencing/etc. the enemy

Usually a good example of a champion who is good at peeling is Janna who can peel with 3 of her 4 skills. She can get the enemy off of her allies with her Q's knockup, her W's slow, and her ult's knockback.

If that doesn't do it, imagine a banana. Imagine the banana itself is a teammate and the skin is an enemy, you want to peel the skin away from your teammate to protect it and let it do its job of being delicious/whatever else your teammate does.
