In a layered system, and in particular with Web systems, an origin server is one that is an authoritative source for content. This is in contrast to something like a (reverse) proxy, which only acts as an intermediary and houses no content of its own.
In Web (or in general networked information system) parlance, an origin (as opposed to a proxy) is the authoritative source of information.
