ιδίωμα

a group of words or a phrase that has a meaning different from the literal interpretation of its individual words, often specific to a particular language or culture

What is an "idiom"?

An idiom is a group of words whose meaning cannot be understood by looking at the individual words alone. Idioms often convey a figurative meaning that is culturally specific and may not translate directly into other languages. For example, the idiom "kick the bucket" means "to die", and its literal interpretation does not reflect this meaning. Idioms enrich language by adding color and expressiveness, allowing speakers to convey complex ideas or emotions in a clear way. Understanding idioms is important for effective communication, as they are commonly used in both spoken and written language.

The origin and history of "be full of oneself"

Its origin is unclear, but it has been in use since the mid-19th century. It is thought to have developed from the idea of being filled up with one's own self-importance, leading to an inflated sense of ego.

Regardless of its origins, "be full of oneself" remains a common expression in modern English.
