The term "underdog" originated in the context of dogfighting in the 19th century. It referred to the dog that was expected to lose the fight, as opposed to the "top dog," which was anticipated to win. Over time, the term evolved to describe any individual or team that is expected to be at a disadvantage in a competition or struggle, symbolizing resilience and the potential for surprising success against the odds.
