original

Originality is the aspect of created or invented works as being new or novel, and thus reproductions, clones, forgeries, or derivative works.
An original work is one not received from others nor one copied from or based upon the work of others. It is a work created with a unique style and substance.
The term "originality" is often applied as a compliment to the creativity of artists, writers, and thinkers. The modern idea of originality is tied to Romanticism, by a notion that is often called romantic originality.The concept of originality is culturally contingent. At the time of Shakespeare, it was more common to appreciate the similarity with an admired classical work, and Shakespeare himself avoided "unnecessary invention". It wasn't until the start of the 18th century that the concept of originality became an ideal in Western culture.The existence of originality has been questioned, as there are no clear boundaries when a derivative work is considered original.

    Original or pattern mixer tap cartridge?

    Original Newform cartridge part no. 14720 ranges from £40 to 60 euros. What looks like a pattern part from Ownace is only £7.99. Can anyone advise if the pattern part is "likely" to be OK or do I need to pay the extortionate price to be certain of quality? Steve (DIY home owner, not professional!)
