The phrase "plumb to death" originates from the use of "plumb," which means to measure the depth of something, often with a weight attached to a line. In this context, it implies being weighed down or overwhelmed, often by emotions or circumstances. The phrase conveys a sense of being completely and utterly exhausted or incapacitated by something, often leading to a figurative or literal state of being "dead" from the weight of it. It has evolved in usage to describe feeling overwhelmed or deeply affected by a situation.
The phrase "plumb forgot" likely originated from the use of the word "plumb" as an adverb meaning "completely" or "absolutely." In this context, "plumb" emphasizes the degree to which something is forgotten. The word "plumb" in this sense dates back to the 16th century, while the specific phrase "plumb forgot" likely emerged later as a colloquial expression to convey total forgetfulness.
