Question

nearest meaning of Authentic

Answer 1

of undisputed origin and not a copy; genuine.

Answer 2

Somebody really has the confusion between the words ‘original’ and ‘authentic’.

Original refers to the object or the thing that is occurred originally in this earth without any alteration.

But in the case of authentic, it is not the original one but it is equivalent to the original one.

For example, if you are buying gold ornaments from a reputed jewelry store.

It is referred to as authentic not as original.
