Answer:
idiom
Explanation:
“the world was at his feet”
- means to be the equivalent of the emperor of the world.
- Most idioms have a literal meaning ( the plain meaning of the words) and a figurative meaning (what the idiom means in normal use, as a kind of metaphor)
metaphor -> "A metaphor is a figure of speech that implicitly compares two unrelated things, typically by stating that one thing is another (e.g., “that chef is a magician”). Metaphors can be used to create vivid imagery, exaggerate a characteristic or action, or express a complex idea."
