| 释义 | aborigine (once / 1850 pages) n If you’re an aborigine in a country, that means you were there first. Use the word to refer to someone or something that has been there since the beginning. The word aborigine traces back to the Latin ab origine, meaning "from the beginning," and as you might guess, this noun refers to something that has been there from the start. Aborigine is most often used to refer to a native group that has a longstanding historic or cultural tie to an area or country, unlike other groups that may have entered later to colonize the region. If the word is capitalized, it refers to someone belonging to the group of people that first inhabited Australia.
