An aborigine is any inhabitant of a region or
country. The word often refers to the original
people of areas colonized by Europeans, and
especially to Australian Aborigines. Where
there was a population of approximately
300,000 in 1788 when British settlers first
arrived, there is now only approximately
160,000.
From the Latin "Ab Origine" meaning:
From the Beginning.
