Best Answer

Many words are similar to other words - there are only so many ways you can combine 26 letters, after all. "Idiom" and "Idiot" just happen to have the same root term, "idio," which means "pertaining to the self, private, distinct or personal."

The similarity between "idiom" and "idiot" is purely coincidental. "Idiom" refers to a common expression or phrase used in a particular language, while "idiot" is a derogatory term for someone perceived as unintelligent. The two words have different origins and meanings.
