The idiom "bring something to the table" is thought to have originated in the early 1900s in the context of business negotiations. It is believed to have been used as a metaphor for a person bringing something of value to a meeting or negotiation, much like a meal would be brought to a table. The usage of the idiom has since expanded beyond business and can now refer to any situation where someone is bringing something of value or worth to a group or discussion.
