How it's used
Used primarily in formal or academic contexts to describe the underlying support or basis for abstract concepts like knowledge, theories, or plans. It carries a sense of structural integrity and essential preparation. While it can refer to physical plinths in architecture, it is far more common in everyday speech to discuss the metaphorical foundation of skills or projects.
Examples
The foundation of this plan is very solid.

Common mistake
Avoid using this word in casual conversation to describe the physical base of everyday objects like a chair or a table, where words like 底 or 腳 are much more natural.
