Idiomatic expressions are extremely common and are found in all kinds of English, both formal and particularly informal. After all, frequent occurrence of the idiomatic expressions in speech does not make them understandable for everybody. As the origin and history, standing behind them, remains enigmatic and obscure both for native speakers of the language and English learners.

Please read the italicized part of the above quotation.

@fansy,
The italicised portion is not a sentence. This can be solved by a comma instead of a full stop in front of "as" (uncapitalized).
