The origins of getting caught red-handed, i.e. being discovered doing something wrong, can be traced back to Scotland in 1432. The phrase was initially used to refer to someone getting caught with literally bloody red hands in a legal context.
However, in the early 19th century, Sir Walter Scott popularized this phrase in the English vernacular in his work “Ivanhoe,” morphing it from legal terminology into the common phrase we throw around today.
