What is the origin of the idiom "clip someone's wings" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "clip someone's wings" can be traced back to the practice of clipping the wings of birds, particularly domesticated birds like chickens or pigeons, to prevent them from flying away. This physical act of trimming the feathers of a bird's wings limits their ability to fly freely and keep them within a confined space. It can be used in personal relationships, particularly in instances of controlling or oppressive behavior, where one person seeks to restrict the actions, choices, or opportunities of another.
