aborigen
/aˈbɒrɪdʒ(ɪ)n/ /aˈbɒrɪdʒɛn/(also aborigin) Now somewhat rare
noun
An aboriginal or native inhabitant.
Origin
Late 16th century; earliest use found in Arthur Golding (d. 1606), translator. Probably originally formed as a singular of aborigines, aborigenes, by analogical removal of final -es, perhaps by association with origin and its Latin etymon. See further discussion at aborigine.
