The idiom "die in harness" has its origins in the work of horses or draft animals that would continue to pull a load until they died while still in their harnesses. Over time, the phrase evolved to describe someone who continues to work tirelessly or remains dedicated to their job or responsibilities until the very end, even in old age. It emphasizes the idea of a strong work ethic and commitment to one's duties.
