The phrase "pay on the nose" originates from the 19th-century British betting and gambling culture. It refers to paying the exact amount required, particularly in wagers or taxes, without any deductions. The term likely derives from the practice of settling debts or bets directly and fully, ensuring no shortcuts or reductions in payment. Over time, it has evolved to mean paying the full price for something without bargaining or discounts.
