Binomial freeze
The description applies to a pair or group of words belonging to the same part of speech, with some semantic relationship, and used together in fixed order as an idiomatic expression or collocation. The words are usually connected by the words "and" or "or". Alternative descriptions are: irreversible binomial, (frozen) binomial, binomial pair, binomial expression, or nonreversible word pair.
