what is antonym for "destination"?
how would you call a place where,say, a person or a package is going from? The place where they go to is 'destination'. But what is antonym for it?

Re: what is antonym for "destination"?
I know what you mean. I can think of three expressions:
'origin'
'inception'
'starting point'
but I guess we will have to wait for a native speaker to pop in with a confirmation or more suggestions.

'Starting point' is the everyday term, and 'origin' is more offical, IMO.
