Phraseology

In linguistics, phraseology is the study of words and phrases as they are used in speech or writing to convey specific meanings. For example, the term Dutch auction is composed of two independent words, Dutch and auction. However, once combined, the term actually means an auction in which the bidding price falls instead of rising.
