Explanation

A frame is a strong border or structure that supports or surrounds something, like a picture frame around a photo or a window frame holding glass. It can also mean the shape or body structure of a person or thing. As a verb, “frame” means to build, design, or create a structure, or to express something in words. For example, “She framed her question carefully.” Sometimes it also means to make someone appear guilty of something they didn’t do. For example, “The man was innocent, but someone tried to frame him for the robbery.” The word often relates to structure, support, or expression.
