'root-blooming' originates from the combination of 'root' and 'bloom,' where 'root' refers to the base of a plant and 'bloom' refers to the flowering process.

'root-blooming' evolved from the phrase 'blooming from the root,' eventually becoming a single compound adjective.

Initially, it described plants blooming from their roots, but it has also come to metaphorically describe success originating from a strong foundation.
