foothold是英語名詞，音標為英[ˈfʊthəʊld]、美[ˈfʊthoʊld]，詞源可追溯至1620年，由“foot”與“hold”複合構成。其核心義項包含物理層面的“攀登或站立時的支撐點”與抽象層面的“事業發展的基礎地位”，常見譯為“立足處”或“據點”。1650年起，該詞引申為比喻義，指代穩固的行動基礎。
該詞在軍事、商業、教育等領域廣泛套用：軍事文獻中特指“敵占區據點”（如直布羅陀）；商業場景中描述市場拓展的初始優勢（如歐洲市場立足）；教育語境則強調教材作為知識基礎的定位（如“Foothold textbook”）。其雙語例句覆蓋攀岩、企業戰略、職業發展等場景，搭配如“gain a foothold”或“secure foothold”突顯實用語境。詞義體系經權威詞典與多語種語料驗證（如劍橋、柯林斯），並被標註為GRE高頻辭彙。
