Etymology

The origin of the phrase 'tie the knot' dates back to the ceremonial practice of handfasting, where couples would literally have their hands tied together with a cord or ribbon to symbolize their union. Over time, this ritual evolved into the modern-day expression we use to refer to getting married.
