The origin of something is its beginning or its cause.
The word origin, which derives from the Latin term orīgo , refers to the beginning, initiation, irruption, emergence or reason for something . From this meaning, the term has multiple uses.
The origin of a person, in this sense, can be associated with his or her homeland or that of his or her family. For example: "The tennis player of Swedish origin announced that he will retire from professional activity" , "My dream is to travel to Galicia, the land of my origins" , "What is the origin of this writer? Given his accent, he would seem to be from some Central American country" .
The origin can also refer to the beginning or cause of something , whether material or symbolic: "The origin of insecurity is found in inequality and lack of opportunities" , "Blues and country are among the origins of rock" , "I don't know the origin of this matter, but I'll find out" .
The designation of origin
The concept of designation of origin (DO or DOC) , on the other hand, is an official designation that is attributed to some products and serves to guarantee their origin. This reference is generally applied to foods whose qualities depend on the region in which they are obtained or produced.
In this sense, in Spain we find a large number of designations of origin such as, for example, that of Los Pedroches which endorses the exquisiteness of acorn-fed Iberian ham, that of Montilla-Moriles which in this case does the same with the wine produced in this area of the province of Córdoba, or that of Queso Manchego which exalts the flavour of this product made with sheep's milk from Castilla la Mancha.
Charles Darwin proposed his theory of evolution in "The Origin of Species."
Darwin's most famous work
It is worth noting that “ The Origin of Species” is a book written by Charles Darwin ( 1809 – 1882 ). It was published on November 24, 1859 and sold out all of its printed copies on the first day it was available.
In this work, Darwin first set forth the concept of natural selection and his theory of evolution .
Origin in cinema
In the cinematographic field we can highlight the existence of a film entitled Inception which was released in 2010. Christopher Nolan is the director of this production, starring the successful actor Leonardo DiCaprio, which revolves around the figure of a unique character played by him, a person who has the ability to take possession of the secrets of individuals during their sleep.
This unique ability has made this figure become a real fugitive, hunted down by various characters, which means that he will never be able to enjoy a normal life. Therefore, in order to change this circumstance, he decides to change his ability. Specifically, instead of appropriating other people's dreams, he chooses to implant certain ideas in them.
However, this vital change that he is trying to achieve will not be easy because someone, who is always ahead of his movements, seems to try at all costs to prevent him from fulfilling the new goals that he has set for himself.
