The idiom "grin like a Cheshire cat" originates from Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." In the story, Alice encounters a grinning, disembodied cat with a distinctive smile. The Cheshire Cat's grin remains even after its body disappears, leaving only its grin behind. The phrase has since become a metaphor to describe someone's smile, particularly when it is very wide, distinctive, and often carries a sense of mischief, inscrutability, or amusement.
