5 lay the ax to the root of smth.

(lay the ax(e) to the root of smth.)

рубить под корень, приступать к уничтожению, разрушению чего-л. [этим. библ. Luke III, 9, Matthew III, 10]

If all other means failed, he could join the bishop against his wife, inspire courage into the unhappy man, lay an axe to the root of the woman's power and emancipate the husband. (A. Trollope, ‘Barchester Towers’, ch. IV) — Если другие средства не помогут, ему придется поддержать епископа против его жены, вселить мужество в несчастного человека, ниспровергнуть власть жены и освободить мужа.

You revolt at the crimes, cruelties and stupidities of fanatics who endanger and may yet destroy the world. But you are not political. You are hacking at branches with pocket-knives when you should be laying an axe to the root of the trouble. (D. Cusack, ‘The Sun Is Not Enough’, ch. 25) — Вы возмущаетесь преступлениями, совершаемыми фанатиками, их жестокими, варварскими действиями, которые могут погубить весь мир. Но вы стоите вне политики. Вы срезаете ветки перочинным ножом, а нужно рубить топором под самый корень.
