to [come] and [go] definition and meaning

What is the origin of the idiom "come and go" and when to use it?

The idiom "come and go" is commonly used in English, and its origin is not connected to a specific historical event or cultural background. It simply combines the words "come" and "go," which have always been used to express movement and changes in location. Over time, people started using the phrase to describe how things or people appear and then leave, showing that they are not permanent. It's a widely used expression that reflects how things are not always the same and can change or disappear.
