Question

Definition of idioms

Answer 1

Answer: An idiom is a widely used saying or expression containing a figurative meaning that differs from the phrase's literal meaning. The word “idiom” comes from the Greek word “idioma,” meaning peculiar phrasing. For example, “under the weather” is an idiom universally understood to mean sick or ill.

Answer 2

idioms are noting but a group of words in a fixed order that have a particular meaning that is different from the meanings of each word on its own

for example ..... its raining heavily today .....

here instead of the word heavily ..... we use the idiom " cats and dogs"

which has the same meaning ..... so when the idiom is used in the sentence ....

it becomes : its raining cats and dogs today
