The origin of the idiom "blessing in disguise" can be traced back to the 18th century. It was popularized by the Irish writer and poet, Oliver Goldsmith, in his 1766 comedy play titled "The Good-Natur'd Man." The phrase is used to suggest that what may seem like a setback or misfortune at first can turn out to be advantageous or fortunate in the long run, contrary to initial expectations.
