You insist you understand the concept of an idiom, but you have been consistently unable to apply the concept meaningfully in the current case.

Take an example.

Tie the knot is an idiom for entering into a marriage.

Is it a problem that no one would never deduce the overall meaning simply from the literal semantic content?

Do you have a need to deconstruct it?
