The term "champing at the bit" originates from horse riding, where a horse may bite or chew on its bit—a metal mouthpiece used in bridles—when eager to move or race. This behavior reflects the horse's impatience and desire to begin running. The phrase has since evolved into a metaphor for someone who is anxiously waiting to take action or eager to start something. The expression became popular in English literature in the 19th century.
