What meaning of part is used here? --Backinstadiums (talk) 00:33, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

2.1 Position or role. Similar to an actor's part in a play. Equinox ◑ 00:34, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

@Equinox: Thanks. And what meaning of look is used? "To give an appearance of being"? Isn't there any guidelines regarding the etymology of idioms like this one? --Backinstadiums (talk) 15:12, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Backinstadiums, you will never properly learn English by asking 100 questions about "which noun, which verb, which adverb" about individual words with no context, and frankly this is getting a bit irritating. If you are just trying to improve your English then you would do better to speak with native English speakers, or read textbooks. If you have some other goal then please let us know, and maybe we can help. Equinox ◑ 16:31, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
