Un idiotisme est une construction ou une locution
particulière à une langue, qui porte un sens par son tout et non par chacun des
mots qui la compose. Il peut
s'agir de constructions grammaticales ou, le plus souvent, d'expressions
imagées ou métaphoriques. Un idiotisme est en général intraduisible mot à mot,
et il peut être difficile voire impossible de l'exprimer dans une autre langue.
