Idiom

to consider something when trying to make a judgment or decision

What is the origin of the idiom "take something into account" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "take something into account" can be traced back to Middle English. The word "account" in this context refers to consideration or regard. The usage of "take into account" evolved from the combination of the verb "take" and the noun "account," which meant to include or consider something when assessing a situation. Over time, the phrase became firmly established in the English language, and it has been in use for several centuries. It is frequently used in decision-making processes, problem-solving discussions, analytical assessments, and evaluations.

What is a "toss-up"?

A toss-up is a situation in which the outcome is uncertain and could go either way. It is often used to describe a decision or event where the chances of one result happening are just as likely as another. The term comes from the act of tossing a coin, where both sides have an equal chance of landing face up. In casual conversation, a toss-up may refer to anything where there is no clear favorite or winner, such as a close contest, decision, or prediction. It emphasizes that the result is equally balanced and unpredictable.
