What is the origin of the idiom "put something on ice" and when to use it?
The idiom "put something on ice" began to be used in the early 20th century to indicate the act of temporarily setting aside or delaying a particular matter or plan. Its origin can be traced back to the practice of preserving or keeping perishable items, such as food or beverages, by placing them in containers filled with ice. It is frequently used in professional settings, such as business negotiations, when parties need more time to evaluate options or align resources before moving forward.
