What Does the Phrase “Come to Past” mean?

I’m using it in my essay and it just sort of came into my head but i am not sure i am using it correctly. i’ve looked online for a phrases definition but can’t find anything.

This is my sentence if you’re curious.

The purpose of this essay is to explore a cultural society where males are more favourable over females and why it has come to past in the 21st century.

THANKS!

The phrase is “come to pass” meaning to happen or occur.

Well done, checking it out before using it in your essay.

I don’t think you’re using the word favourable correctly either.

I believe it should read ” males are favoured over females”.

Good luck.

In modern parlance it simply means ‘happen’. The correct phrase is ‘come to pass’ not ‘come to past’.

Past tense: ‘came to pass’

Future tense ‘will come to pass’

Why it has come to pass, not past. Otherwise your sentence is appropriate.
