A bridgehead is a strong position an army has taken far forward in enemy land — often just after crossing a river — from which it can hold on and then push forward or attack. The picture is: you have crossed, and now you have a piece of ground in your hands, like the near end of a bridge. It is a serious military word, used in news and history. People also stretch it: a company might talk about a bridgehead in a new country, meaning a first office or first customers from which they hope to grow. That is the same idea, moved out of war. It is not the top of a bridge, and it has nothing to do with the card game.
組成A calque of French tête de pont (“head of a bridge”); in English, bridge + head.
