PUT ON ITS END Meaning and
Definition
-
"Put on its end" is an idiomatic expression used to describe the act of positioning an object in a vertical or upright position, typically with its top or bottom serving as the new base of support. It implies a change in orientation or direction, as the object is being turned on its side or completely flipped over.
This expression is commonly used when referring to objects that are typically positioned horizontally or flat, such as books, boxes, tables, or utensils, and then repositioned vertically. The phrase is often used to convey the idea of transforming the original state or appearance of an object.
For instance, if a person says they put a bookshelf on its end, it means they turned the bookshelf so that it's standing up vertically instead of lying flat on the floor. Similarly, if someone puts a table on its end, it indicates that they flipped the table over to stand on its legs rather than using its surface to place objects.
In a metaphorical sense, "put on its end" can also be used to describe the changing of a situation, scenario, or even an argument, indicating a shift in the perspective or approach to a particular matter.
