Ab initio
AnswerClick to flip back
A
from the very beginning
💡 Explanation:
Ab initio is Latin for 'from the beginning' or 'from the start'. It's commonly used in legal and academic contexts to indicate that something has been true from the very outset, not just from a later point in time. 'High initiative' is a false cognate that sounds similar but has an unrelated meaning.
