Answer : IDIOM
idiom, idiomatic expression, phrasal idiom, set phrase, phrase – n
an expression whose meanings cannot be inferred from the meanings of the words that make it up; an expression peculiar to a language
An idiom is a form of expression that is particular to a certain person or group of people. If your friend always says, “squirrelly nuteriffic!” when she means something is great, she’s using her own idiom.
Idiom comes from the Greek idios, which means personal. Idiom originally meant “speech peculiar or proper to a people or country.” These days we use idiom for a specialized vocabulary or an expression that isn’t obvious, like kick the bucket which means “die.” If you’re studying a foreign language, idioms are the hardest phrases to translate.
