IdiomWhat is the origin of the idiom "on par with" and when to use it?
The origin of the idiom "on par with" comes from the game of golf. In golf, "par" refers to the standard number of strokes that a skilled player is expected to make for a particular hole or course. Therefore, being "on par with" means being equal to or equivalent to this standard. Over time, the expression has been extended beyond golf to describe equality or similarity in various contexts.
