The idiom "through and through" originated from Middle English and has been in use since the 14th century. It combines the word "through" (meaning completely or thoroughly) with itself to emphasize completeness or thoroughness. Over time, it evolved into an idiomatic expression used to describe something or someone as entirely characterized by a particular quality, condition, or trait.
