An idiom is a phrase or expression that has a figurative meaning different from the literal meaning of the words used. Idioms are often culturally specific and can be confusing for non-native speakers to understand. Example: "It's raining cats and dogs" means it is raining heavily, not that actual cats and dogs are falling from the sky.
The burning question is simply: How did this expression, so easily understood, become mistaken for an idiom?
It's not an idiom. The definition of "at stake" is what is being risked in the situation or venture. A stake is a share or ownership in something.
An idiom can also be called a figure of speech or a saying.
The best way to find out the meaning of an idiom is to look it up in a reputable dictionary or idiom database. You can also search online for the idiom along with the word “meaning” to find explanations and examples of its usage. Additionally, asking a native speaker or language teacher for clarification can help you understand the idiom better.

You just said "idiom" in English. The question is confusing, so please rephrase it so that it asks what you're wanting to know.
Please ask one question at a time.
This isn't an idiom. It means just what it seems to mean. Something is only a matter of time - you only have to wait until it happens.
Anything that is NOT a phrase whose meaning is not clear is NOT an idiom. This is a confusing question, because a tortoise is not an idiom. I'm not sure exactly what you're wanting here.
