Originality does not mean thinking something that was never thought before; it means putting old ideas together in new ways.
The base of the pyramid supports all the structure above it, similarly some unique idea is required to support other ideas. Single definition cannot encompass all the meanings of originality. In a nutshell, it can be amalgam of old ideas or it can be something that is never thought and made by anyone. The definition given in the statement misconstrue the deep meaning of originality. I will provide some examples to advocate my definition of originality and will shed more light on this topic in the passage below.
In my opinion, originality also means unwrapping some mystery as well as coming up with unique thoughts. Let me embellish this point. Everyone knows about satellites and how they are revolutionizing the technological world, society, and humankind around us. Rocket propulsion is the main part of satellite launching procedure and is not merely an amalgam of some ideas put together in some fashionable form. Additionally, it was something new and innovative. Therefore, It can be said that coming up with new stuff also constitutes as an originality.
Moreover, we can also see example of Facebook and other social networks. These correctly fit into the definition of originality mentioned in the statement as they just came with the idea of social networks differently. There was existing idea of social network that was developed by AOL that helped in development of these new websites. Hence, it is irrefutable that novel ideas are required for development of other ideas. So, it can be stated that originality includes developing new ideas.
In addition to the above mentioned examples, there are other places where humankind came up with new things by not just putting some stuff together in a cutting edge way. These were real, path-breaking things. Everyone knows about internet, we use it daily more than anything else. Internet in its raw form was invented by DARPA as ARPANET for military purpose and everyone is using a modified version of that invention. As we can see again, present state of internet is derived from old idea came up by DARPA. DARPA's idea is the base and was entirely novel and is a true original stuff.
It is apparent by now that originality can be coming up with something by putting old ideas differently or by not using any other idea, instead coming up with new groundbreaking things. I disagree with the definition of Originality mentioned in the statement give in the question.
