The idiom "at the end of the day" is thought to have originated in the 17th century as a way to refer to the end of a workman's day. It was later adopted into figurative use to emphasize what is ultimately important or what matters most. It is often used to contrast the immediate or short-term with the long-term or ultimate consequences of something.
