The term "deadline" originates from the American Civil War, specifically referring to a line drawn around a military prison beyond which prisoners were not allowed to venture. Crossing this line could result in being shot. Over time, the meaning evolved to denote a specific time limit for completing tasks or submissions, highlighting the urgency and consequences of missing a set time.
