uneven ground
Bumpy walking path
Uneven ground is terrain that isn't flat or level—full of bumps, dips, rocks, or irregular surfaces.
The phrase appears in warnings about hiking hazards, descriptions of difficult terrain, and explanations for stumbles: Watch your step on the uneven ground.
Figuratively, uneven ground suggests an unstable or unpredictable situation where footing—literal or metaphorical—is uncertain.
