grassroots
含义: The most basic level of an activity or organisation; ordinary people in a community rather than leaders or elites. As an adjective, describing initiatives, movements, or campaigns that originate from ordinary people rather than from institutions or authorities.
Grassroots movements are characterised by bottom-up organisation, where change is driven by ordinary citizens rather than imposed by leaders. In British politics, 'grassroots members' are the ordinary party members (as opposed to MPs and officials) who campaign locally, attend meetings, and vote in leadership elections. Grassroots football refers to amateur and youth levels of the sport. The metaphor suggests organic growth from the ground level up.
