The idiom is a direct negation of 'کم است' (kam ast - it is little/small). 'کم' (kam) means 'little', 'few', or 'small', and 'نیست' (nist) is the negative form of 'است' (ast - is). Therefore, 'کم نیست' literally means 'is not little' or 'is not small', which is used to emphasize significance in quantity or importance.
