Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Originating in the United States during the American Civil War around 1860-1865, the term originally referred to a physical boundary line drawn around a military prison, beyond which prisoners would be shot. By the early 20th century, the meaning shifted metaphorically into the publishing and corporate worlds to denote a time limit by which something must be finished.
