A spoiler is a piece of information that reveals key plot details or outcomes of a book, film, TV show, or other media work, which can ruin the experience for someone who has not yet seen or read it. Spoilers often include significant plot twists, character fates, or crucial moments that are meant to be discovered during the course of the story. They are typically avoided by people who wish to keep the suspense and surprise intact for others.

The origin of the idiom "take for granted" can be traced back to the Middle English period. The word "granted" in this context refers to something that is assumed to be true or accepted without question. The phrase emphasizes the human tendency to become accustomed to or overlook the value of things that are consistently present or readily available. Over time, it has become a commonly used expression to convey the idea of not fully appreciating or recognizing the significance of something until it is lost or no longer accessible.
