The idiom "call it a day" has its origins in the world of work and labor. It can be traced back to the idea of ending a workday or a shift when it is deemed appropriate or sufficient. The expression suggests that a decision has been made to cease work for the day, often based on factors like completing the necessary tasks, reaching a reasonable point of progress, or acknowledging that further efforts may not yield significant results.
