Adverb

to change one's mind
phrase
uk flag
/tʃˈeɪndʒ wˈʌnz mˈaɪnd/
Idiom
Informal

to change one's opinion or decision regarding something

What is the origin of the idiom "change one's mind" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "change one's mind" can be attributed to Old English and Middle English usage, specifically the word "mynd" in Old English and "mind" in Middle English. The term "mind" in this context referred to one's thoughts, intellect, or mental processes. The concept of changing one's mind has been a part of human language and communication for centuries, reflecting the inherent flexibility and adaptability of human cognition. This phrase is used in various contexts and occasions to describe situations where individuals alter their opinions, decisions, or beliefs. It can be employed in personal, social, or professional settings.
