One thing this term can refer to is when a verb and adverb form a "phrasal verb pair" which may or may not be an idiom. This is also referred to as "verb and particle pair" which may also be a "verb and preposition pair."

Examples:

think over - consider

give in - acquiesce, surrender

throw up - vomit

pass away - die

give up - quit
