No. The word "idiom" is a noun. An idiom is a term or phrase whose meaning is different from the separate words in the term. For example, the idiom 'keep up' has little to do with keeping anything or with an upward direction. It means maintaining (keeping) one's relative position as it changes (goes up, i.e. increases in elapsed time or distance).
