The origin of an object is the point at which its local coordinates are (0,0,0). This is the 'centre' from which all other local coordinate values are relative.
Tip:There can be multiple origins within the same entity: its own origin, the origin of its model, etc. Each origin defines its own local coordinate system relative to its parent.
