originations
Sources of creation
Originations are instances of beginning or creating something.
The word appears most often in financial contexts, where loan originations are the processing and issuing of new loans: Mortgage originations dropped sharply as interest rates rose.
The singular origination names the act or process of bringing something into existence.
