| Jan 13, 2011 at 16:07 | comment | added | ShreevatsaR | For more examples, a Google search for "is of the essence" -time gives quite a few: "speed is of the essence", "elegance is of the essence", "quality is of the essence", "timing is of the essence", etc. Of course, I still don't know why "is of the essence" came to mean "is essential" (essentially). | |
