[PHRASE]What is the origin of the idiom "make a go of something" and when to use it?
The idiom "at a price" is a simple expression that has been used in the English language for many years. It is derived from the concept that most things, especially valuable or desirable ones, come with a cost or a price that must be paid. It is used to indicate that something is available or attainable, but it requires payment, sacrifice, or compromise.
