L’original sert de modèle à des copies éventuelles, mais n’a lui-même pas eu de modèle. ‘ Original ‘ désigne également le caractère unique du style d’un artiste. Un style ou un jeu original, une oeuvre originale. ‘ Original ‘ désigne enfin le caractère singulier d’une personne. Cet homme est un original (un excentrique). 2 - Originel:-est en lien direct avec l’origine, et ne s’emploie pas substantivement contrairement à ‘ original ‘. Cela signifie qu’on ne peut pas dire ‘ un originel ‘, alors qu’on peut dire ‘ un original ‘. Péché originel, justice originelle. read less
