The hardest line to cross is the one you draw before moving.
means To begin doing or experiencing something, or the point at which that beginning happens.
from From Old English 'styrtan,' meaning to leap up or move suddenly — the violent jolt of a body springing into motion. That sense survives when we 'start' awake or 'start' in fright; the calmer meaning of 'commence' grew out of that same sudden movement. It's likely related to a Germanic root for 'tail' or 'jutting thing,' the idea being something thrust abruptly outward.
