originate
Come into being
To originate is to come into being or to bring something into being.
Ideas originate in the mind; rumors originate from a source; a flight originates in one city before continuing to another.
The word works both ways: The concept originated in ancient Greece or She originated the role on Broadway.
Something's origin is where it originated.
