The idiom "kill or cure" originated in the medical field, specifically in the 18th and 19th centuries, when doctors would prescribe treatments that were considered risky, but had the potential to cure a patient's illness or condition. The idiom is used to describe a situation where a particular action or decision has the potential to either solve a problem or make it worse. It suggests that there is a high level of risk involved and that the outcome is uncertain.

The origin of the idiom "make or break" is believed to have originated in the world of sports in the 19th century. It is likely that the phrase originally referred to a key moment in a sporting event, where the outcome would determine whether a team or player would win or lose. Over time, the phrase began to be used more widely to describe any situation where the outcome was crucial and would have a significant impact on the future. It is used to describe a situation where something will either lead to success or failure, with nothing in between.
