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 ‘.

original = the first, as opposed to the reproduction/copy which came later (the original painting, an original idea, etc) originel = related to the origins, the very beginning (original sin, the original habitat of a species, etc.)
