Tőrölmetszett is original, ancient, which is primaeval. And the term you are looking for could be "not quite primaeval".

JANOS SAMU
: primaeval is tősgyökeres, which is inherently different from tőről metszett. See the Magyar nyelv történeti és etimológiai szótára.

Zsuzsa Berenyi
: A grass-roots jelentése az Oxford ALD-ben: Ordinary people in a society or in an organization, rather than the leaders or people who make decisions. A tőrőlmetszett pedig eredeti, tősgyökeres (Ősi jellegét tisztán mutató, őrző). Szerintem ez nem ua.

Az Oxford ALD meghatározása rendkívül korlátozott, és csak egy jelentését adja a sok közüll. A fogalomban benne kell élni és én benne élek.
