Beyond the shadow of a doubt
Although the meaning of this phrase is obvious, does anyone know how it actually began? Does "doubt" have a "shadow," is "beyond the shadow" actually the significant part of the phrase? Even though we use it all of the time, I'd like to know where and how it began. Thanks
