A fixed expression refers to a phrase that has a specific and established meaning that cannot be understood from the meanings of its individual words. Examples include idioms and set phrases, such as 'kick the bucket' or 'piece of cake'. They are crucial for natural-sounding language and are typically learned as complete units. The meaning of these expressions often cannot be deduced by looking at the individual words, making them essential for mastering fluency in a language.
