lone wolf definition and meaning

What is the origin of the idiom "What is the origin of the idiom "make a go of something" and when to use it?" and when to use it?

The phrase "What is the origin of the idiom "make a go of something" and when to use it?" originated from the behavior of actual wolves, where some wolves choose to live and hunt alone instead of within a pack. It has since been used metaphorically to describe individuals who prefer to operate independently and avoid group dynamics. It can also also be used in the context of describing individuals in fields like law enforcement or terrorism, where a "lone wolf" refers to someone who acts independently, outside of a larger group or organization.
