originative

Producing fresh ideas

Originative means having the power to originate or create something new.

The word describes minds, forces, or processes that bring things into being rather than merely transmitting or imitating: an originative thinker, the originative impulse behind the movement.

It emphasizes the capacity for genuine creation over reproduction.
