A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “original” refers to a document or object that is the first of its kind, not a copy or reproduction. It is the authentic and authoritative version of a document or work, as opposed to a duplicate or imitation.
Example: The original contract was signed by both parties and is now considered legally binding.
