The intent is to be informed. 'Origin' is one of the fundamentals of the
CSS cascade. Learning fundamentals of a language before using it is
important... /aside

One point here is that 'initial' is a state. 'reset, 'clear', 'wipe',
'fallback' or 'rollback' are actions, not states.
It doesn't explain the previous point(s) of origin very well.

If no love for 'origin' alone, how about:
'ua-origin','default-origin' or 'back-origin'?
