Best Answer

At the time of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, many of the people in the crowd took off their garments and spread them on the ground for Him to ride over as He passed by riding a donkey. Clothing was quite valuable in those days, so it was a sacrifice, as well as a mark of ultimate respect. In the Old Testament, it was also a custom to do this to acknowledge a king. So the current meaning of being willing to give anything, no matter the cost, is consistent with these Biblical events.
