original
“His work is truly original.”
“Your copy of the software is not original.”
/used:/
To hide the fact that all creative work is dependent on cultural context and create a false image of an author creating ex nihilo
As a synonym of “authorized” or “certified”, suggesting that an unauthorized copy is somehow worse or defective
/recommendations:/
