Origin of "wing it" phrase

This phrase dates from the late 19th century and the verb 'to wing' was defined in an 1885 edition of Stage magazine: "'To wing'... indicates the capacity to play a rôle without knowing the text, and the word itself came into use from the fact that the artiste frequently received the assistance of a special prompter, who... stood... screened..by a piece of the scenery or a wing." http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/412350.html
