1. Literal Origin: Historically, it refers to a massive wagon carrying the image of the Hindu god Jagannath, used during religious processions in India. The term became associated with unstoppable, crushing force due to these wagons being so large and heavy that they could not easily be stopped once in motion.
2. Figurative Use: In modern usage, "juggernaut" is often used metaphorically to describe any large, powerful, and overwhelming force or institution that is seemingly unstoppable. It can refer to a variety of entities, such as a dominant company, a political movement, a powerful trend, or even an individual who exerts a significant influence in their field. The emphasis is on the overwhelming power and unstoppable nature of whatever is being described.
