This expression refers to a person who has an overly high opinion of himself (or herself) and probably should not be so arrogant. When such a person is "taken down a peg," it means someone else who is more knowledgeable or more skilled brings that person back down to where they ought to be. It does not carry a violent meaning-- the person who is brought down a peg is usually humiliated, because they are shown that they are not so smart after all, and they have to admit they were wrong and act more humble. (Another version of this expression is to "cut someone down to size.")
This can also be used as "taken down a peg" or "to take down a peg or two" - it means to deflate their ego, usually by causing them to do something that shows they've been being arrogant or by correcting something they did wrong.
The expression "to take someone down a peg" means to humble or deflate someone's ego or self-importance. It suggests bringing them back to a more modest or realistic level, often by pointing out their flaws or shortcomings.

Round Peg in Square Hole - a person whose abilities, character, or personality are not suited to his/her positionOrigin: This expression dates from the 1800s, to describe people who just did not fit into situations they were in. They essentially did not have the temperment, skills, or knowledge. Sometimes the words in this expression are switched to 'square peg in a round hole.'Possibly this predates the 1800s as the expression is used by Zen Master Dogen in "Shobogenzo", his Zen Buddhist Masterpiece entitled "The Treasure House of the Eye of the True Teaching".
