The idiom "sitting duck" originates from hunting terminology, where it describes a duck that is stationary and therefore an easy target for hunters. The phrase conveys the idea of someone or something that is vulnerable and defenseless, making it susceptible to attack or criticism. Over time, it has evolved to be used more broadly in various contexts beyond hunting, emphasizing the notion of being exposed or unprotected.
