How to use "Come to nothing" in context?
When most people hear the phrase "come to nothing," they tend to associate it with negative outcomes. To some, it may be indicative of a lack of ambition or a lack of perseverance. But to others, it may be simply a description of a natural process that occurs over time.
Simply put, "coming to nothing" means failing to achieve a worthwhile objective. This may be because of a lack of resources, inability to make a successful transition to a new venture, or simply bad luck. Whatever the reason, when an endeavour fails, usually there is not much left to show for it.
