Idiom

used to refer to something that is very close to a particular person, place, or thing

What is the origin of the idiom "around the corner" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "around the corner" can be traced back to the concept of turning a corner while navigating through streets or pathways. In literal terms, when one turns a corner, they immediately encounter what lies ahead. Figuratively, this concept evolved to represent something that is physically close.
