Basically, it is a description of sexual nature that could involve any number of acts: when a dominant person takes a submissive role but still remains in charge while the actual submissive person takes a dominant role but still takes orders.
A dominatrix is said to "top from the bottom" when she lets her submissive tie her up and perform oral sex on her, but all the while she is telling him how she likes to be licked and he does it how she says to.

In its basic, literal sense, it means exactly what it says. The person on the bottom is leading the top, thus technically topping from the bottom.
Guy 1: So I heard Derek let you top last night?
Guy 2: Yeah, but even though he was bottoming, he still had most of the control.
Guy 1: Ah, clearly he was topping from the bottom.
Guy 2: Yeah, but even though he was bottoming, he still had most of the control.
Guy 1: Ah, clearly he was topping from the bottom.

Terms used for sex between two women or two men. The top is the pleasure giver and the one on bottom is receiving. They are not the same as dom and sub because even though many bottoms are subs and tops are doms, there are variations such as service tops and power bottoms. Some people are also versatile, which means they both top and bottom, not to be confused with switch.
(on tinder)
Person a: Hey cutie
Person b: so are you a top or bottom?
Person a: don't you think it's a bit early to know that?

Referencing to how gay relationships have sex, the top is the one who gives, and bottoms are the ones who receive
“Yeah my last girl kept trying to top me”
“What a shame, if you were mine you would not get the same”
Tops and Bottoms mannnn
“What a shame, if you were mine you would not get the same”
