What is the origin of the idiom "beat someone to a pulp" and when to use it?

The idiom "beat someone to a pulp" is believed to have originated from the literal act of physically beating someone until their flesh is severely bruised, and their face or body resembles a pulpy, mangled state. This expression vividly describes a brutal and merciless beating, often used figuratively to convey a complete defeat or overwhelming victory in a non-physical context.
