Etymology

aborigin +‎ -er, first part most likely from English aborigine, from Aborigines, from Latin aborīginēs, from both ab- (“from, away from, off”), from ab (“from, away from, on, in”), from Proto-Italic *ab, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂epó (“off, away”) + and from orīgine, ablative singular of orīgō (“beginning, origin, source”), from both orior (“to originate, be born”), from Proto-Italic *orjōr, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃er- (“to stir, rise”) + and from -īgō (suffix forming deverbal nouns). Last part from Old Norse -ari, from Medieval Latin and Middle Low German words, both from Proto-Germanic *-ārijaz, from Latin -ārius.
