Origin

Late 16th century: from French charte, from Latin charta 'paper, papyrus leaf' (see card¹).

card from Late Middle English:
A medieval word that comes via French carte from Latin charta ‘papyrus leaf or paper’, the source of chart (late 16th century), and charter (Middle English). Its first recorded sense was ‘playing card’, source of many expressions we use today. To have a card up your sleeve is to have a plan or asset that you are keeping secret until you need it. If someone holds all the cards in a situation, they are in a very strong position, just like a card player who has a hand guaranteed to win. Someone who is secretive and cautious about their plans or activities might be said to be keeping their cards close to their chest. The image here is of a card player trying to prevent the other players from looking at their hand. If you play your cards right you make the best use of your assets and opportunities to ensure you get what you want, whereas to lay your cards on the table is to be completely open and honest in saying what your intentions are. Rather different from the above expressions is on the cards (in the US, in the cards), meaning ‘possible or likely’. The cards being referred to here are ones used for fortune-telling.
In Britain a person unlucky enough to get or be given their cards is sacked from their job. The cards referred to are the National Insurance details and other documents that were formerly retained by the employer during a person's employment. A politician who is said to play the race card exploits the issue of race or racism for their own ends. The expression originates in a letter written by Lord Randolph Churchill (1849–95) in 1886 on the question of Irish Home Rule. Referring to the Orange Order of Protestant Loyalists, he said that ‘the Orange card would be the one to play’.
Charles Dickens (1812–70) was fond of using card in the sense ‘an odd or eccentric person’, and his Sketches by Boz (1836) provides the first written use. It comes from sure card, meaning a person who was sure to succeed. Discard (late 16th century) was originally used in relation to rejecting a playing card.

Origin Late 16th century: from French charte, from Latin charta 'paper, papyrus leaf' (see card¹). card from Late Middle English: A medieval word that comes via French carte from Latin charta ‘papyrus leaf or paper’, the source of chart (late 16th century), and charter (Middle English). Its first recorded sense was ‘playing card’, source of many expressions we use today. To have a card up your sleeve is to have a plan or asset that you are keeping secret until you need it. If someone holds all the cards in a situation, they are in a very strong position, just like a card player who has a hand guaranteed to win. Someone who is secretive and cautious about their plans or activities might be said to be keeping their cards close to their chest. The image here is of a card player trying to prevent the other players from looking at their hand. If you play your cards right you make the best use of your assets and opportunities to ensure you get what you want, whereas to lay your cards on the table is to be completely open and honest in saying what your intentions are. Rather different from the above expressions is on the cards (in the US, in the cards), meaning ‘possible or likely’. The cards being referred to here are ones used for fortune-telling. In Britain a person unlucky enough to get or be given their cards is sacked from their job. The cards referred to are the National Insurance details and other documents that were formerly retained by the employer during a person's employment. A politician who is said to play the race card exploits the issue of race or racism for their own ends. The expression originates in a letter written by Lord Randolph Churchill (1849–95) in 1886 on the question of Irish Home Rule. Referring to the Orange Order of Protestant Loyalists, he said that ‘the Orange card would be the one to play’. Charles Dickens (1812–70) was fond of using card in the sense ‘an odd or eccentric person’, and his Sketches by Boz (1836) provides the first written use. It comes from sure card, meaning a person who was sure to succeed. Discard (late 16th century) was originally used in relation to rejecting a playing card.
