adjective (pos=well-heeled)
  1. rich; affluent; prosperous
Etymology: From cock-fighting sense, a well-heeled cock was provided with sharp spurs and could inflict maximum damage. Then it came along in American frontier slang to mean that one was well-equipped. In the modern sense, however, it means being armed with the most powerful weapon: money.
