second bite (at|to) the cherry definition and meaning

What is the origin of the idiom "second bite at the cherry" and when to use it?

The idiom "second bite at the cherry" is believed to have originated in the early 20th century in Britain. The phrase likely refers to the practice of picking and eating cherries from a tree, where the best and ripest cherries are often located on the higher branches and are difficult to reach. In this context, someone who has already picked a cherry and wants another chance to get a better one might take a "second bite at the cherry" by climbing the tree again to pick another cherry. It is used to describe a situation where someone is given a second opportunity to achieve something that they missed or failed the first time.
