Idiom Dictionary, Lexicon, Mar 14, 2010
The English word idiom was itself derived from the Greek “ἰδίωμα" (idioma), which can be variously translated as peculiarity, property, or peculiar phraseology. Hence the word has come to be used to describe the form of speech peculiar to a people or country and, in a narrower sense, to the forms peculiar to a limited district, group of people, or even the technical vocabulary peculiar to a profession such as medicine, the law or any of the sciences. This narrower sense is also described by the word dialect (Gr. διάλεκτος), also of Greek origin. In philosophical terms idiom is a collection of different parts (words) forming an entity (holotes) with a meaning different from its parts.
