What is the origin of the idiom "below the belt" and when to use it?

Striking an opponent below the beltline, specifically hitting the groin area, is considered an illegal blow and is penalized. It implies that someone is hitting or attacking another person in a way that is unfair, unethical, or taking advantage of their vulnerabilities.
