The idiom "in on the ground floor" originated in the world of real estate and construction. It originally referred to being involved in a project or venture from its initial stages, particularly when a building was being constructed, and had a literal connotation of starting from the first floor of a building, which is the ground floor. Over time, it evolved into a figurative expression, denoting the opportunity to participate in or witness the early development of a venture, idea, or trend, with the implication that those involved from the outset have a potential advantage.
