The phrase "monkey see, monkey do" likely originated in the early 20th century, with its first known use appearing in the 1910s. It reflects the idea of imitation, suggesting that one individual tends to mimic the actions of another, similar to how young monkeys learn behaviors by observing adults. The phrase has since become a popular idiom to describe mindless imitation or the tendency to follow others without critical thought.
