Origin of Phrases - R

 

Right as rain

Meaning: Completely correct, proper, sound and healthy.

 

Example: On the witness stand she appeared to be right as rain, but then she is an actress by profession.

 

Origin: This one is likely alliterative. The "R"'s in Right and Rain sound good together. Thanks to John Gold This comes from the idea of rainwater being pure and wholesome - well it was before pollution.

This may be reference to the value and goodness of rain which is critical to crops and farming.
