/ˈdɔːmæt//ˈdɔːrmæt/The word "doormat" has an interesting history. It originally referred to a **mat placed outside a door** for wiping one's feet. This usage dates back to the 16th century. However, the term has also evolved to describe a person who is **easily taken advantage of or bullied**. This metaphorical use emerged in the 19th century, likely stemming from the idea of a doormat being repeatedly stepped on and trampled. So, the word "doormat" has a literal meaning tied to a household item and a figurative meaning representing a submissive or passive person.
