blueprint
含义: A detailed technical drawing or plan, originally produced as a white print on a blue background. Figuratively, any detailed plan or programme of action.
The literal meaning refers to the cyanotype reproduction process used for architectural and engineering drawings from the mid-19th century onwards. Although modern technical drawings are produced digitally, the term persists both in engineering and in its widely used figurative sense — a 'blueprint for success' or a 'blueprint for reform.' It collocates naturally with 'for,' 'of,' and 'to,' and is common in business, political, and media language.
