aborigines pl (plural only)
Unclear. The term is often suggested to derive from ab orīgine (“from the beginning”). However, early Latin sources seem to treat it as the name of a specific people rather than a general term for original inhabitants of anywhere, so it may be the pre-Roman substrate name of a specific tribe which was altered to resemble ab orīgine due to folk etymology. (Roman authors also suggested several other possible origins, like aberrō or ab + Ancient Greek ὄρος (óros, “mountain”), none of which is considered probable.)
