origination
Where something begins
Origination is the act or process of bringing something into being.
The word appears most often in financial contexts, where loan origination refers to the process of creating a new loan—from application through approval and funding: The bank charges a 1% origination fee.
More generally, origination describes any beginning or source: the origination of the idea.
