The phrase "out of whack" is believed to have originated in the early 20th century, possibly in the mechanical context, where "whack" referred to a part of machinery that was misaligned or not functioning properly.

Over time, it evolved into a colloquial expression used to describe anything that is not in order or functioning correctly. The exact origin is unclear, but it has become a common idiom in everyday language.
