The origin of the phrase can be traced back to the 1800s. Originally, it was used in a literal sense, meaning to physically reconstruct or rebuild something that had been damaged or destroyed. Over time, the phrase began to take on a more figurative meaning, referring to the act of repairing a relationship or compensating someone for a wrong that had been done to them. The phrase became more popular in the early 1900s and is still commonly used today. It is often used in situations where someone has caused harm or inconvenience to another person and wishes to make amends or offer some form of restitution.
