new and creative quality
The quality of having new and clever ideas, or doing something in a fresh and creative way.
Pola penggunaan:
[someone] shows originality in [doing something] / the originality of [something]
Kesalahan umum:
Learners sometimes use "originality" as a count noun (e.g., *many originalities*). In standard English, "originality" is almost always uncountable and used without an article, or with "some", "a lot of", "no" (e.g., "a lot of originality", "no originality"). Another confusion is with "origin" (where something comes from) and "original" (new, first); "originality" refers specifically to the quality of being new and creative.
Sinonim

Antonim
