"The lion's share" refers to the largest portion of something, often implying that one party receives a disproportionately large benefit compared to others. The phrase originates from Aesop's fable "The Lion's Share," where a lion claims the biggest portion of a hunt, illustrating themes of power and inequality. It highlights situations where one individual or group dominates or takes more than their fair share.
