The idiom "have one's work cut out for someone" is used to express that someone has a challenging or demanding task ahead of them. The origin of this expression can be traced back to the practice of tailoring or dressmaking. When a tailor had a piece of fabric already cut out for a particular garment, it meant that the most time-consuming and difficult part of the work was already done.

What is the origin of the idiom "have one's work cut out for someone" and when to use it?

to [have] {one's} work cut out for {sb}
