绿灯

• 拼音: lǜ dēng
• 汉字拆解: 绿 = 纟 + 录 (green colour); 灯 = 火 + 丁 (lamp, light)

含义

Green traffic light; the signal to proceed. Also used figuratively to mean permission, approval, or a go-ahead.

开绿灯 (to give the green light/grant special permission) is a very common idiom in business, government, and everyday contexts, often implying preferential treatment. The metaphor is identical to English usage.
