original state
Starting point, unchanged
Original state is the condition something was in before any changes occurred.
The phrase appears in legal, technical, and everyday contexts: restoring a building to its original state, returning software to its original state after an update fails.
In physics and philosophy, original state may refer to initial conditions before a process began.
The phrase implies a baseline that can potentially be recovered or referenced.
