The origin of the phrase "bring around" can be traced back to Old English, where it was spelled "brīengan" with a literal meaning of "to lead or conduct to a particular place." The verb "bring" itself can be traced further back to the Proto-Germanic "brinkan," which meant "to lead" or "to convey." Over time, the usage of the phrase "bring around" has evolved to indicate a broader concept than just physical travel. In the Middle English period (1100-1500), "bring around" came to be used to mean "to persuade" or "to convince." It still retained the underlying idea of leading someone to a new state or condition, but this state was now mental or emotional rather than physical. Throughout the Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution, the word experienced a resurgence in popularity as people began to use it to describe the advantages of new consumer products, such as washing machines or electric fans. These were products that were "brought around" to people, making their lives easier and more convenient. Today, "bring around" continues to be used in a variety of senses, from asking someone to accompany you to a particular destination to suggesting that a particular person might be persuaded to take a particular action. Its versatility and wide applicability point to its historical evolution from a simple Old English verb into a multifaceted phrase that captures the full range of personal and societal interactions.
