What is the difference between an idiom and idom?

The word you are looking for is idiom.

Idom is not a word in the English language.

Idiom refers to a phrase or expression that has a figurative meaning that is different from the literal meaning of the words. Idioms are often unique to a specific language or culture.

Examples of idioms:

* Kick the bucket: To die

* Spill the beans: To reveal a secret

* Once in a blue moon: Rarely

Idiom is the correct spelling.
