The Estonian phrase 'must lammas' directly translates to 'black sheep'. This idiom, like its English counterpart, originates from the historical fact that black sheep were considered undesirable by shepherds due to the difficulty of dyeing their wool. Consequently, they were seen as an outcast or anomaly within the flock. The figurative meaning of an outsider or odd member of a group, someone who doesn't fit in or is an embarrassment to their family or organization, developed from this literal sense. The concept of the 'black sheep' is widespread across many cultures and languages, suggesting a common historical experience with sheep farming and wool production, and the subsequent metaphorical extension of this imagery to human social dynamics.
