forming or relating to a short group of words that are often used together and have a particular meaning

Phrasal sets like "shut up" and "kick the bucket" cannot be understood as a sum of their parts. 像“shut up”和“kick the bucket”这样的习语不能按字面意思理解。（“shut up”意味“闭嘴”，不是“关上”;“kick the bucket”意为“死掉”，不是“踢桶”。）
