Starting point and origin
Where does it start or come from?
Znaczenie
We can show where something starts, comes from, or is taken from. This may be a departure point, a place of origin, or the person who provides an object or information. Languages use words, endings, or parts of the verb, and some have no special origin endings. Unlike Direction and destination, Starting point and origin concerns where something comes from, not where it is headed.

Look for the part that names where something starts, comes from, or is removed from, including who provides it.
W języku nauki
English uses from for starting points, origins, and people who provide things or information. Out of emphasizes leaving an inside space, while off can show removal from a surface. Away from emphasizes increasing distance.
I got this recipe from a friend.
From names the person who provided the recipe.
A cat ran out of the garage.
Out of shows that the cat moved from inside to outside.
Take your bag off the chair.
Off shows removal from a surface.
Learners whose language uses one general source marker may use from even when out of or off would show the starting place more clearly. Learners whose language uses endings rather than separate words may omit the preposition before a source noun.
