The phrase is thought to have originated in the Middle Ages, when horses were often traded without being seen by the buyer. In order to avoid being cheated, buyers would often look at the horse&#8217;s teeth to assess its age and health.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the phrase &#8220;look a gift horse in the mouth&#8221; is often used to discourage people from being too critical of gifts they receive.
