The phrase "plug into" has its origins in the early 20th century and refers to the process of connecting an electrically powered device, such as a radio or a musical instrument, into an electrical outlet or socket. The word "plug" has been in use since the late 19th century to describe a device that fits into an electrical socket to make a connection, and the term "into" means "into a socket or electrical outlet," implying a connection is being made. In broader terms, the phrase "plug into" is now commonly used figuratively, meaning "to connect with or make the most of" a particular activity, source of information, or experience, such as " plug into a new job" or "plug into a new market." This figurative use of the phrase became popular in the mid-20th century.
