opposite of destination Page 6

The opposite of a destination is the origin—the place you set off from before the sat-nav decides to get cheeky. You might also hear departure point or starting point, both doing the same job without the fancy Latin. In a journey, it’s the ying to the destination’s yang: one says “we’re off,” the other says “we’ve arrived.” Simple, tidy, and no need for a compass unless you really like gadgets.
