The idiom "the straw that breaks the camel's back" is a metaphorical expression used to describe the final, seemingly insignificant event or burden that causes a person or system to collapse or reach a breaking point. The origin of this idiom can be traced back to an ancient proverb that refers to the physical weight limit of a camel or donkey carrying a load. Beyond a certain point, even the addition of a small straw can cause the animal's back to break.
