Origin of the Expression Scared to Death
The phrase "scared to death" encapsulates the profound intensity of fear, describing a state of overwhelming terror that can immobilize both mind and body. It signifies a threshold beyond which rational thought gives way to instinctual responses, and the fear of mortality becomes obvious. This expression suggests a sense of extreme panic and apprehension, evoking the instinctual experience of being gripped by an intense and overwhelming dread that leaves one feeling utterly paralyzed.

What is an Idiom?
The definition of Idiom:
/ˈidēəm/ - Noun
*a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words (e.g., rain cats and dogs, see the light ).
An idiom is a phrase, saying, or a group of words with a metaphorical (not literal) meaning, which has become accepted in common usage.
Still, some phrases become figurative idioms while retaining the phrase's literal meaning. Categorized as formulaic language, an idiom's figurative meaning is different from the literal meaning.
Idioms help evolve our language; they act as the building blocks of language and conversation in our civilization. They also have great intensity to make a language descriptive and dynamic. Idioms bring a spectacular illustration to everyday speech and provide insights into the use of words, languages, and their speakers’ thought processes. It has been said that many great writers would use idioms in books and plays to help their audiences understand the characters' feelings. Idioms are also a great way to express the same information in a new way, so the writers are not repeating themselves. Many famous writers were known to use idioms, one being William Shakespeare.
