   Idem \I"dem\, pron. [or] adj. [L.]
      The same; the same as above; -- often abbreviated {id.}

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Idiom \Id"i*om\, n. [F. idiome, L. idioma, fr. Gr. [?], fr. [?]
      to make a person's own, to make proper or peculiar; prob.
      akin to the reflexive pronoun [?], [?], [?], and to [?], [?],
      one's own, L. suus, and to E. so.]
      1. The syntactical or structural form peculiar to any
            language; the genius or cast of a language.
  
                     Idiom may be employed loosely and figuratively as a
                     synonym of language or dialect, but in its proper
                     sense it signifies the totality of the general rules
                     of construction which characterize the syntax of a
                     particular language and distinguish it from other
                     tongues.                                             --G. P. Marsh.
  
                     By idiom is meant the use of words which is peculiar
                     to a particular language.                  --J. H.
                                                                              Newman.
  
                     He followed their language [the Latin], but did not
                     comply with the idiom of ours.            --Dryden.
  
      2. An expression conforming or appropriate to the peculiar
            structural form of a language; in extend use, an
            expression sanctioned by usage, having a sense peculiar to
            itself and not agreeing with the logical sense of its
            structural form; also, the phrase forms peculiar to a
            particular author.
  
                     Some that with care true eloquence shall teach, And
                     to just idioms fix our doubtful speech. --Prior.
  
                     Sometimes we identify the words with the object --
                     though be courtesy of idiom rather than in strict
                     propriety of language.                        --Coleridge.
  
                     Every good writer has much idiom.      --Landor.
  
                     It is not by means of rules that such idioms as the
                     following are made current: [bd]I can make nothing
                     of it.[b8] [bd]He treats his subject home.[b8]
                     Dryden. [bd]It is that within us that makes for
                     righteousness.[b8] M.Arnold.               --Gostwick

      3. Dialect; a variant form of a language.
  
      Syn: Dialect.
  
      Usage: {Idiom}, {Dialect}. The idioms of a language belong to
                  its very structure; its dialects are varieties of
                  expression ingrafted upon it in different localities
                  or by different professions. Each county of England
                  has some peculiarities of dialect, and so have most of
                  the professions, while the great idioms of the
                  language are everywhere the same. See {Language}.

   Iodine \I"o*dine\ (?; 104), n. [Gr. [?] violetlike; [?] a violet
      + [?] form: cf. F. iode, iodine. The name was given from the
      violet color of its vapor. See {Violet}, {Idyl}.] (Chem.)
      A nonmetallic element, of the halogen group, occurring always

               natural brines. In the free state, iodine, even in very
               minute quantities, colors starch blue. Iodine and its
               compounds are largely used in medicine (as in
               liniments, antisyphilitics, etc.), in photography, in
               the preparation of aniline dyes, and as an indicator in
               titration.
