etymology - What is the origin of the phrase, "up for it"?
I was just reading something that suggested a very, umm, risqué interpretation of the phrase, "up for it". It made me wonder where and when this phrase actually originated. Does anyone know?
Collins Dictionary limits itself by saying:
(informal) keen or willing to try something out or make a good effort:
it's a big challenge and I'm up for it
