What is the origin of the idiom "that is about the size of it" and when to use it?

The idiom "that is about the size of it" originated in the late 18th century referring to accurately estimating or assessing a situation. It draws from the idea of judging something's true "size" or scope. Over time, this expression took on a figurative meaning of correctly identifying the key issue or heart of the matter in essence if not detail.
