3.aborigine/ b r d ni /
"person, animal, or plant that has been in a country or region from earliest times," 1858, mistaken singular of aborigines (1540s; aboriginal is considered the correct singular in English), from Latin aborigines "the first inhabitants," especially of Latium, hence "the first ancestors of the Romans." This is possibly a tribal name, or from or made to conform to the Latin phrase ab origine, which means literally "from the beginning."
This is from ab "off, away from" (see ab-) + ablative of origo "a rise, commencement, beginning, source; descent, lineage, birth," from stem of oriri "arise, rise; be born, be descended, receive life" (see origin).
It was extended by 1789 to natives of other countries which Europeans had colonized, especially "aboriginal inhabitant of Australia," with capital A-. The Australian English slang shortening Abo is attested from 1922 as a noun, by 1906 as an adjective.

The Origin and Abortive Paths of Western Civilization
The story of Western civilization is a complex tapestry woven from many threads. To fully orient ourselves, we must look beyond the simple Oriental dichotomy of "East vs. West" and seek _1_(it) true origin. The foundational original ideas often __2__(emerge) in the ancient Mediterranean. The Greeks, for instance, are __3___(consider) the originator of democratic philosophy, while Roman law provided another crucial pillar.
However, this nascent civilization did not develop in a vacuum. It was built upon lands inhabited by aborigines, __4___ own culture and knowledge were often subsumed or erased by expanding empires. The path was never linear; history is littered with abortive starts. Many grand ___5___(scheme), like certain military campaigns or political reforms, ended in abortive failure, having to be abandoned before coming to fruition. Just as a seed might abort due to poor conditions, so too did many potential __6__(culture)or political developments fail to take root.
This process can be seen__7__a form of historical abortion, where alternative paths for society were cut short, often through conflict or collapse. The Roman Empire itself __8__(event) fragmented, a dramatic abortion of a __9__(unify) Mediterranean world. Yet, from its ruins, the core original concepts were preserved, rediscovered, and reinterpreted, leading to the Renaissance and the eventual rise of the modern West. Thus, Western civilization's journey is not just one of __10__(glory) creation but also of constant struggle, failure, and the selective abortion of countless possibilities, all contributing to its unique and complex character.
