Is lost his marbles a Idiom?

An idiom is a phrase that makes no sense unless you know the idiomatic definition. Can someone really lose his marbles? Yes, but does it make sense if someone says "He's lost his marbles" when someone says something crazy? No, so this can be either an idiom or an actual phrase. Someone could really misplace their marbles (toys), or they could be mentally unbalanced, in which case the idiom meaning would be used.

What is the origin of the common phrase losing your marbles?

The word 'marbles' has had many meanings throughout history. Marbles are generally known as the little glass balls that children use to play a game. From the mid 19th century, 'marbles' was also used to mean 'personal effects', 'goods', or more generally 'stuff'. This derived from the French word 'meubles', which means 'furniture'. Therefore, to lose one's marbles means "to lose your stuff," or, idomatically, to lose one's mind.
